I did not attend. Where is it held?

It is actually a Ravelry event.....so each person participates from their own home. Then you post pictures of what you have spun. It really is fun.....but i always seem to be busy. It runs the same days as the Tour de France.

Oh! Sweet. I have a ravelry account but have only used it for patterns. I was unaware of the other uses. (Ravelry still doesn't have an app, right?)

That i dont know. If you join a spinning group most of them have teams for the tour every year.

A while ago, I purchased a drop spindle and began the journey of spinning. I'm now the proud owner of an Ashford Traditional spinning wheel! Here is my first completed 100 yard chunky 50/50 NZ Romney skein.

Nice! I will surely keep posting pictures. It is enjoyable when others can appreciate the work that goes into traditional crafts. I'd love to see some pictures of your and others work too!

Love the green. The colors really set each other off nicely.
