The Cycling: Stage 10 is 187.3km of a flat route that starts in Orléans and ends in Saint Amand Montrond.
The Daily Challenge: Monrond is noted for it's goldsmiths; it has 9 companies and a school of jewellery. Gold has been part of its trade for many years. Bring some opulence to your spin by adding something gold or even a bit of sparkle. Why not both...?
Suggested Fibre: Angelina Gold is the obvious choice for this one. A tiny bit will bring a definite sparkle to any project and a large bit will make it positively gleam!
What I did
I am trying to spin up some the oldest fibres in my stash so for this challenge I decided to spin a World of Wool Team Blend from 2020 called Peacock by Adam. Team Blends are created by the staff that work at World of Wool and then customers are invited to vote online for their favourite ones and those that get the highest number of votes are produced as a shop product and the staff who created them get a percentage of the sales from it. I know that this year, 2024, we have been asked to vote for our favourite 10 out of 22 and the top 10 favourites will become shop products for 12 months but I think that during Covid lockdown, when this one was produced, we had a much lower number of blends to choose from, probably because they would have had a lower number of staff working for them at that time due to the restrictions.
This fibre doesn't have any Angelina in it but it does have rainbow Trilobal Nylon so it's still a bit sparkly/shimmery.
I only spun the first single today.
