ERMAGERD GUYS!!!

Wow!  This is a post 4 years in the making.  Not too long after I started spinning, I got to go to Maryland Sheep and Wool show.  I fell down a bit hard in the fleece judging area and snagged myself my very first fleece.  Keep in mind that I had never processed raw fleece, didn't have a drum carder and still had my Babe spinning wheel.  We've come a long way baby.  Well, I think the fleece was around 7 pounds.  Romney wool. A lovely brown with a bit of blonde at the tips.  I'm sure you've seen me post about it over the years.  It is always my goal for the Tour de Fleece to finish spinning it.  Please take a moment here to laugh.
 
Well, I can no longer use that as my goal, for it is finished.  Completely everything spun, plied and washed.  Ta Da!!!  (This post is a bit pic spammy, but it is kind of a big deal)
 


 Yup 1392 yards today. 
 It is a lovely 3-ply, somewhere in between 8-7 wraps per inch.  So the lighter side of a bulky weight.  Just what I wanted. 
 I love how tweedy it finished up.
