Tour de Fleece 2014, the final

I've plied aaaaaaaall day long and finished my last two yarns. The blue one (75% mulberry silk, 25% BFL) is 320 grams and 538 meters distributed to two skeins. The big skein is a classic 3-ply, the small skein is made from the "leftovers" ans has been chain-plied. (the "blue" photos have been taken pre-wash)

The second skein is Three Waters Farm Merino/Tussah silk in the colorway "Cheerful Disposition", 130g with a yardage of 415 meters, chain-plied. 

My tour total is:

total fiber weight: 570 g

finished yarn: 1326 m

singles spun: 3978 m

Tour de Fleece 2014, day 20

Day 20 was travel day and I've spend many hours on the autobahn, so no spinning in the afternoon. Luckily I did manage to finish the second bobbin of the blue fiber in the morning. Yay!

Tour de Fleece 2014, day 15

After hours and hours of spinning the single, it was finally time to ply the burnt orange tonal. While the skein is soaking, here some unwashed pics. ;-)

115 grams resulted in 372 meters of chain plied yarn. I cant wait to check out the washed skein.

Tour de Fleece, day 9

Thats what I wanted to post early this morning, but then life happened.

My cat, waiting for me to come back to the wheel - and my TDF status from right after the  world cup final. The German soccer team won the FIFA World Cup, and I have still about 20 grams to go ... *sigh* will it ever end?
