Tour de Fleece 2021: Let the Spinning Begin/Choosing the Fiber

Now that I have assembled the 21 different fibers I plan to spin during this year's Tour de Fleece, I am ready to start spinning.
I have chosen to spin undyed and minimally processed animal fibers this year. I have sheep's wool, some alpaca, some goat, and some bunny fiber - oh yeah, I also have bison down. In this video, I show each of my fibers and talk of their properties and in some cases, I will share a bit about the animals the fiber came from.
I have made a short blog post to accompany this video and it can be found here ... pithypondering...

I enjoyed seeing all of the fibers you were going to spin for TDF, and listening to your stories. Blessings.

So lovely to see all your fibre and loved hearing the birdsong as you were spinning

Do you have any sheep or do you buy fleece?

[@UnwindingwithFiberandFabric]

I purchase my fleece either from breeders or from weaving/spinning stores. My daughter raised angora rabbits for awhile, but we resisted the sheep/alpaca temptation 😊 I grew up on a dairy farm and honestly had enough of animal husbandry as a youth😹
I really love attending wool/fiber festivals and buying directly from a breeder or breeder co-op.
