Team Spun Out in the Ravelry Tour de Fleece

I think I am slightly loopy trying to organise a Team Spun Out for the Ravelry Tour de Fleece spin along, but I'm a sucker for punishment, and I am hoping that the team spirit will drive me on to spin a sweaters worth of yarn, something that has eluded me thus far in my spinning career!

So, what am I spinning?  It's 480gms of Ixchel Bunny Angorino, in Heart Throb, and I intend to ply it with Treetops Colour Harmonies solid merino, in Ruby Red Dress.  I'm aiming for 8ply, but would be happy with 10ply too.

Yet to be decided is what wheel I shall use.  I have 7!  Although strictly speaking, 4 of those are test drives for Spun Out, my business.  As said 4 are joining me on my stand at The Australian Sheep & Wool Show (I'm in the Flower Shed in case you're heading that way), I think I will utilise my beloved Lendrum for this one.  I'll post photos of progress on the blog and the Rav forums, so wish me luck!
