Tour de Fleece 2013

So I decided to sign up for this years Tour de Fleece but with a twist!! My friend Diana has been blogging about locally sourced fibre in her blog www.100milewear.com. I thought I would do that but a bit closer to home. I am using my dog Molly as a fibre source. It has been a very interesting journey so far. 

This is Molly lounging around outside while I spin the undercoat she so graciously gave me!

Here it is! I find I don't need to comb it at all 

before spinning it!

And here it is spun up!! Ta da!!

I am finding that it is very delicate to spin. I am spinning a new fibre on a new to me wheel that I am still adjusting to. I am exited to see what I get when I am finished & knit it up.
