Day 5 - Tour de Fleece 2023

 Today is the fifth day of the Tour, and I have finished spinning the 4 oz of teal BFL and started in on the second braid of BFL in black/natural/green/blues.   Because it is a commercial roving, likely sourced from the UK, it is noticeably coarser in texture from the teal skein, which came from a noted US BFL breeder.  The fiber from the UK that is labeled BFL is not necessarily from purebred sheep - most likely it is from crosses called mules, which are the backbone of the UK sheep industry.  Nevertheless, it is a pleasant spin.  

This year, the Tour runs from July 1-23.  My goal is to spin some each day.   I hope to complete (at least) this collection of rovings.
