Tour de Fleece
Tour de Fleece is an annual event for hand spinners that coincides with the Tour de France, the famous multi-stage bicycle race. During Tour de Fleece, spinners challenge themselves to spin yarn each day that the cyclists are riding, often setting personal goals to achieve by the end of the race. The idea is to focus on spinning, learn new skills, and enjoy the community of others who share the passion for handspinning and the fibre arts. Spinners often join teams, share their progress online, and encourage one another, mirroring the community aspect of the cycling event it runs alongside.
