Fill-in Spin

With Tour de Fleece set to start in just a couple of days, my initial challenge was to find a "fill-in spin" to keep myself occupied after finishing up the cotton. I had 50 grams of lilac Merino left, and although I knew I wouldn't be able to get it all done (I have other time constraints), I knew I could get one bobbin of singles finished in the time frame. And wouldn't you know it? Now I'm ahead of schedule. At least I have a couple of bobbins of singles waiting to be plied. That should keep me busy until the 4th. As for my Tour challenge, I'm not exactly happy with the braid I picked out for a fractal spin. It didn't divide well, and I'm afraid it's going to turn out muddy, but having never spun a fractal before, perhaps it will work out better than I see it in my mind's eye.
