Tour de France/Tour de Fleece 2023 Stage 2

The Cycling: Stage 2 is 209km of a hilly route that starts in Vitoria-Gasteiz and ends in San Sebastian, in Basque Country, Northern Spain.

The Daily Challenge: Finish something!  If you bit off more than you can chew yesterday, get stuck in and complete that spin.  Or, if you put down a project to start TdF, pick it back up.

Suggested Fibre: Anything

What I did

I chain plied yesterday's spun single to keep the colours together.  The finished yarn is perfect for working garments, such as a shawl, where you start with a few stitches at the neck edge and progressively increase the number of stitches as you work the rows.  The progressively increasing colour lengths will match that increasing stitches and the resulting stripes should be pretty even in depth as you work.  If you were to use this type of yarn to knit something that is a straight knit or square or rectangular in shape then the stripes would start off thin and get deeper and deeper as you knit.


The finished yarn is 100% Merino sport weight and 201m/100g.
