And the (dare I say) magnificent homemade Fleece Advent project is complete!

In which I made myself a Fleece Advent and spun it all up as singles yarn, on supported spindles.

A Mia, a utility sink, a kilo+ of fleece, and a carpet-covered treadle. (This is about how I scour raw fleece in our small apartment. Plus, a new wheel.)

This post is being typed very hastily at 10:30pm, but part of my goal for this blog is that I don’t pressure myself to only hit “publish” when a piece is perfect or to time posts for maximum engagement.
