Tour de Fleece 2024 - La Douce France - spinbox

Most spinners have heard of the Tour de Fleece, which is held every year on Ravelry. Ravelry is an international paltform for knitters and crocheters. During the three weeks of the Tour de France spinners happily tred or spin on their wheel or spindle.

For this occasion, I will assemble a spinbox in the format of a Trivial Pursuit game. Overall theme of this year’s Tour de Fleece yarn calendar is ‘La Douce France’. ‘La Douce France’ in short means all the wonderful things of the French way of living; good food, good living and all the things you can think of. Think of éclairs, macarons, lavender, wonderful soap, chansons, the French countryside and so on. The calendar has the format of the Trivial Pursuit game, so there will be questions and you may guess the answers. It will be a lot of fun! Afterwards you can save the questions and answers for your next pub quiz on New Year’s Eve!

The game leads you through France, it’s cuisine, culture and famous sites and in the end awaits the Victory at the Champs Elysées! There is a reward waiting, which cannot be revealed yet ;-).

There will be three editions: 21x 5grams for spindle spinners and 21 x 10/20grs. for spinners with hungry spinning wheels (or spindles).

What fibres can I expect?

Different sorts of medium to fine wool fibres, a variety of animal and plant fibres and here and there some sparkles. There will be a mix of hand dyed fibres and commercial fibres in form of rolags, batts and combed tops.

What colours can I expect?

All colours within the colour spectrum, inspired by these beautiful accompanying photographs, beautifully arranged in a fade.

Until when can I sign up?

This calendar is a pre-order and I will keep this listing open until the 15th of April 2024 or until they've sold out.
