What to expect from Team Fleece Force: Daily encouragement and check-ins during the Tour Fun spinning prompts and challenges A space to share your goals, progress pics, fiber stashes, and finished yarns Supportive vibes only – we’re here to lift each other up! Your mission: Spin every day the Tour de France rides (July 5–27), even if it’s just a few minutes.

Rest on the official rest days. Challenge yourself on the mountain stages. And most importantly—have fun with your fiber! So grab your wheels, spindles, fluff, and let’s get ready to spin like the wind. Fleece Force, assemble!

I’m really looking forward to this! Got a braid of the Fleece Force color in Shaniko silk at Yarncentic and it’s sooo beautiful 😍

Hello, This will be my first Tour and I am pumped. I was a spectator last year but am ready to jump in and spin through July. I have an order in to Trisha at Yarn Jam (also thanks to Trisha for putting this group info in her newsletter). My plan is to spin on my traditional wheel at home during the week and work on a different spin on my E-wheel when I am away on the weekends. EEEk! so excited.

@karen-woods Karen, I love that you have multiple wheels. I love the traditional wheels so much, but the E-spinners make it so easy when traveling. Post pics of your progress!

Very excited to participate in TDF25. This will be my first year as well, Karen. I recently started spinning and have just absolutely fallen in love with it. I did receive the Yarn Jam braids and they are luxurious omg!

My goal is to spin with a "new to me" fiber so I chose the Shaniko silk option.

I am so excited to participate in my first Tour de Fleece! I have my fleece force fiber from YarnJam and I can’t wait to start spinning! I’m trying to decide if I’m going to use my supported spindles or my wheel 🤔

Excited to join Fleece Force, thanks for extending the invite.  I am very very new to spinning and was gifted an electric wheel and some fleece braids, so spend my time just playing on my wheel with some practice .oz’s and you tube videos. This is also my first Tour de Fleece, so I hope to improve with daily spinning  and appreciate being part of a “team”.  Love your videos Kaci and follow the seasonal changes in your life.

@adell I’m so excited for your first fleece force!!! You will definitely see lots of improvement with daily spinning. Even if it’s only 5-10 mins.
