Tour de Fleece 2025 - La Vie en Rose - Yarn edition

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

Like last year, there will also be a yarn edition again! Overall theme of this year’s Tour de Fleece yarn calendar is ‘La Vie en Rose’, 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 guides you through the Tour de France by answering questions on some of the famous painters that France has kown, i.e. Renoir, Matisse, Gauguin or Monet. At the end  awaits the Victory at the Champs Élysées! There is a reward waiting, which cannot be revealed yet ;-).

What can I expect?

• 21 mini skeins (10 or 20grs.) individually wrapped and numbered in:
  • Merino sock (75% sw merino - 25% nylon; 10gr./42.5m.; 20gr./85m.);
  • BFL sock (75% sw merino - 25% nylon; 20gr./85m.);
  • Glitter sock (75% sw merino 20% nylon - 5% silver stellina sparkle 10gr./40m.; 20gr./80m. );
  • HT merino sock (80% sw merino – 20% nylon - 20gr./73m.);
  • Singles (100% sw merino – 20gr./73m.).

• Goodies;
• Knitting pattern;
• Coffee, tea, chocolate and sweets.

Ór      

• a three full skein option:

• 3 x 100grs skeins in bfl sock, merino sock, basic sock, HT merino sock or singles;

• Goodies;
• Knitting pattern
• Coffee, tea, chocolate and sweets.

On some days the cyclists rest and on those days you don't knit or spin.

There is an option to order an extra 100gr skeins (at additional cost) in addition to the yarn kit, so that you have enough yarn to use for a bigger project.

What colours can I expect?

Gorgeous darker and lighter colours, beautifully arranged in a fade (see pictures).

Each mini skein will be hand dyed in an exclusive colourway. You can expect solids, semi solids, variegated or speckled skeins. The skeins will be dyed in a fade, so you can start knitting right away. The colours can be knitted in the order they are opened or you can mix them in different ways.

These pictures are of course an indication, the real magic often happens while dyeing. I use these pictures for inspiration and this is very subjective and also a matter of taste. My interpretation might be completely different from your ideas or opinions. Buying a 'mystery' kit is always a risk.
