I've joined this and if you're a spinner maybe you should join too. My goal is to spindle a two-ply merino/tencel for Clapotis. I just can't seem to find what I want to spend $$ on for this shawl so I got some undyed fiber at Black Sheep Gathering that I will dye myself. Now I just have to decide on the colors. Then I have to learn to spin that slippery stuff. I guess that's part of my Tour de Fleece challenge - to learn to spin merino/tencel.

I've been swapping back and forth between Corriedale and Merino and I find it entertaining to compare the fibers and how they spin. This last weekend I got small amounts of a bunch of different fibers to try my hand at spinning them but I'm making myself work mostly on the two I've started since I really want to have some finished yarn to knit with and not just a bunch of different fibers in process on spindles.
