Tour de fleece part 3
3 braids of Bluefaced Leicester, I'm spinning it a bit thicker than usual and then chain ply to keep the color sequences.
At least that's the plan.

@fiberarts@fedigroups.social @handspinning@fedigroups.social First bobbin of singles filled, first braid spun up. It's surprising how much faster a bobbin fills when you don't try to spin as done as possible (which is my default most of the time). The fiber drafts like a dream - BFL is a great breed. #handspinning #fiberarts #tourDeFleece2026

@FanCityKnits@troet.cafe Great colors! And I think a chain ply is a good idea, because otherwise it can end up muddy when blending purples and oranges.
