The Cycling: Stage 8 is 201km of a hilly route that starts Libourne and ends in Limoges, France.
The Daily Challenge: As Limoges has some shiny and sparkly history, it seems only fitting to have a sparkly challenge, Add a bit of shimmer or sparkle to your spin, or be very daring and spin only sparkle!
Suggested Fibre: Angelina Fibre or Rainbow Trilobal Nylon
What I did
I have a number of sparkly and shimmery braids of fibre and I have chose to use one called Glitzy in shade Ruby.
This was a straight forward 2ply spin and I split the braid in half and spun each as single and then plied them.
The finished yarn is 70% Merino / 30% Trilobal Nylon, Light Fingering weight and 314m/100g.
