Tour De Fleece Special – Ligne D’arrivée

Epic highs, massive challenges, team spirit with a dash of competition… The Tour de Fleece has more than a few things in common with it’s cycling namesake, and this year, we’re here for the ride! If you’ve never taken part in the Tour de Fleece before, it’s a splendid online spinning event, that follows alongside the Tour de France. As the organisers of this fibre-filled adventure say, there are only three rules in the Tour de Fleece, 1 – Challenge Yourself. 2 – Spin. 3 – Have fun! If only every sporting event could involve the fibre arts, eh?! Tour de Fleece is kicking off on Saturday 29th June, and if you want to find out more, here’s the link to the Ravelry page, and there you’ll find the info you need to take part – no lycra involved!

If you are keen to get in the saddle and spin along with those spandex-clad athletes, then we have created three special tops, all inspired by the Tour de France. This lemon lovely is named Ligne D’arrivée, or ‘Finish Line’. How better to celebrate the end of an epic race than with a joyful flash of yellow?

We just adore our Corriedale fibre, it’s the perfect mix of softness and body and now, with a hint of Nylon for added durability, it makes for the most splendid sock yarn – perfect for catching the eye as you fly past on your bicycle, turning heads as you flash by in a puff of yellow.

Composition: 90% Corriedale / 10% Nylon
