Warm up those spinning wheels! Prepare the fiber! It's that time again--TOUR DE FLEECE!
This event runs concurrently with Tour de France bike race. Spinners/participants try to spin on the days that cyclists are racing on the tour. You can rest on their off days--but there is nothing to say you can't spin on those days as well.
The tour began June 26 and runs through July 18. The mountain stages are July 4, 5, 7, 11, 14 and 15--those should be challenge days for spinners.
This 22 day spinning event gives you a chance to hone your skills--giving you confidence in your spinning ability.
Here are some suggestions for your spinning days--not rules (which can be broken!)
try to spin at least 10 minutes a day--just make that a goal--you can spin more or less
maybe make your challenge to spin a fiber you haven't tackled before
Think about joining a support group--you can find several on internet; face book has a group. Maybe, you can gather spinners in your area to encourage each other..
What will you spin? I'm still working on my cotton--white, green and brown. I need to weave more towels!
