Over the years, I've heard "Tour de Fleece" mentioned numerous times, but I never understood what it was. I knew that it ran concurrently with Tour de France, but that was about the size of it. This year, I decided I'd try to find out more. Turns out it's a world-wide "spin-a-thon" which you can participate in either as an individual or as part of a team. Social media is full of groups, some of which are more restrictive than others in the rules they set, but many just tell you to set a personal goal and stick to it for the duration of the bicycle race. I've joined one of the latter type, and for my challenge, I'll be doing my first fractal spin. I bought a four-ounce braid, but being somewhat uncertain about how this is going to work, I'll be starting with half of that. I like to put my handspun up in two-ounce skeins when possible. If all goes well with the first half, I'll spin the second one the same way. And with that, I'm off on my Tour!
