#TeamHairyElephants I have to admit I didn't spin fo 3 days 🦥

#TeamHairyElephants I didn't spin any today, but as it's this "transfer day" where they fly the whole tour de france from denmark to france, I think it's matching that I didn't spin.

#TeamHairyElephants today for #tourdefleece I'm just spinning some boring white fiber that I have on my Henkys spinning wheel but it has been sitting for months untouched.

I'm not challenging or pressuring myself at all, I'll just spin along at leisure with you all.

I nearly forgot my yesterdays stage, with doing the fotos and the documentation the Tour felt done for the day. Only late at night my spinning wheel reminded me that i had a yarn to ply, so i did.
