I have a bump of 12 oz of Briar Rose Fibers BLF top that will be perfect for my goal of spinning every day of the Tour. And I have my team in place to cheer me on:
We dropped our cable subscription ages ago so I was thrilled to see that you can download an iPad app to watch the Tour de France. Tadpole and I watched today's stage streaming live while I spun this morning.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Before I could spin the BFL, I had to finish up my polwarth/silk blend. Nothing like a holiday weekend (and a baby who naps reasonably well, not to mention a three-year-old inspired to nap, too, by the prospect of staying up late to watch fireworks) to make the time to finish up spinning and plying that fiber braid.
This is the first handspun yarn that I've wanted to start knitting up as soon as it came off the niddy noddy.
That's approximately 4 oz, 418 very light, airy yards of worsted spun 80/20 polwarth silk top from SweetGeorgia Yarns.
It's still ever so slightly damp so I'm trying to restrain Tadpole's (and my) urge to wind it up right now. I think it wants to be a Kuura with the charts flipped like in this version.
I think we can hold off a little longer. My team is chomping at the bit to get back to spinning.

Holy smokes, that's gorgeous! The girls look very enthusiastic -- I love that Sprout is actually munching on the BFL top. Kudos to Tadpole for being inspired to nap for the delayed reward of fireworks, too.
Beautiful team mates you have! Glad you are able to fit some spinning time in. (sjn821)
They are just precious, friend.
