After living with huskies for 2+ decades, we decided to do something with all the fur that we've collected over the years: spin it into yarn! Then knit it! More huskies and their outdoor adventures can be found over at @Paws2Trail.

Icon: a cartoon husky with bi-colored eyes winds yarn he's just spun onto a Turkish spindle. Art by @Mehndi_tgr

Banner: 13 balls of white husky yarn arranged in a row from rough to refined on a metal patio table, in bright sunlight.

OK, I think I'm going to have to accept that I've crashed out of the Tour de Fleece Femmes. Or at least withdrawn. No disasters happened; I just ran out of steam the last few days and don't think I'll make the time cut for today's final stage.

It was a fun challenge, regardless, and I got a lot done that I probably wouldn't have without the TDF(F) to keep me going. I still have a bunch of plying and finishing and swatching ahead of me.

I'm currently working through swatches of the Tibetan Mastiff/wool blends, which have been quite instructive. I did not expect to see such a difference between 2:1 and 3:1 blends!

And I have several batches of fur from other dog breeds to skirt and sort, donated by generous people who are patiently waiting for me to get to their fibers.

Plenty to do! Just not at a break-neck speed for now. :bunhdhappy:
