I've finally finished spinning up all the Goldie fleece that I had washed up. (There's still more in my sewing room. And that's last year's fleece...)
Fiber: Goldie 2010 fleece -(that's Shetland, for anyone who hasn't been keeping score)
Weight: 3-ply worsted - 11 wpi (or maybe 10. How close is close? How squished is squished?)
Yardage: 1580 yds.
The yardage is before washing and thwacking, but even with some shrinkage I have enough for a sweater, which was the goal. (And if I run out, there's always spare fleece still kicking around...)
I'm calling this done.
Tour de Fleece, goal one - finishing the Goldie Project. Woohoo!
Now to decide on goal two...

Congrats fellow Tour spinner!
No pressure.....let's see you wearing that sweater at the "Sheep and Wool Festival"...lol.
Oh my gosh, that's beautiful yarn! Yay for empty bobbins!
Beautiful!!
So pretty! Some day I really want to learn to spin!
That looks like great yarn. I think goal #2 should involve some sort of alcohol and/or chocolate consumption.
Wait ... when was this goal announced? Does it count?
;) Excellent! What a great position to be in: "now what?"
Woo Hoo!
I am so proud of you and Goldie!
Congratulations! That is going to be one beautiful sweater!
Excellent! Goldie will keep you wam forever.
Very impressed! Looks like beautiful yarn. Pattern? Decided yet?
