It's been a productive first week of TdF!

I'm a very new spinner, so my goal was consistency in this spin, and I'm VERY happy with the result

I'm smashing all the thumbs up buttons from all these gorgeous spins. I've been horrible about updating this week!

Finished 8 of 16 oz I'm aiming for on my sweater spin. These are fingering weight. Hopefully I'll have some more time to spin and prep the rest of the fiber this weekend. WHY is cooking and laundry and working a THING during TdF? 🤭

So excited to be doing my first tour! I’ve been saving my cat’s fur after brushing him and the time has come to spin it up! The yarn is 100% Siberian cat 😆.
