What beautiful yarns those will make! I love this way of blending, and the doorstop is such a good way to keep the drum from moving. Thanks for showing us these techniques!
I love that you kept it on high speed while you were talking. I dont know if it was on purpose, but it made my day. Thank you for making me smile. And great video all over - as usual.
I love this video so much! All of this info is amazing and the resulting fiber is fantastically beautiful!!! Hurry and spin them all so we can see the finished product.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This makes it so easy to understand how to divide everything up in the beginning for blending, and then also laying out the spirals at the end to either be dramatic colour shifts or a gradient back and forth. Great tutorial, thank you :)
These videos honestly help me for when my drum carder gets here, I'm prepared to use these lessons. Even though it's a motorized one, I can go around some issues by taking my time & have the setting on low. Thank you 😊
1. I love the skill of blending this. 2. There is a song playing ~ minute 11 that kind of sounds like a folk version of Quiet Riot's "Come on Feel the Noise." I'm here for it.
I love these videos. I taught myself to spin long before the internet (or personal computers!), but then didn’t spin for many years. My interest in spinning resurfaced a couple of years ago. I only have hand carders and really don’t think I’ll go for a blending board or drum carder, but your videos are inspiring me to use my carders as a blending board. When I first started spinning I bought raw fleece and did natural dying, but now am happy to just spin from combed top or roving. However, I love all I am learning from the internet!
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I love watching your videos. You're so happy/good/ positive attitude. Your so knowledgeable also. The only thing I do with any type of wool is I crochet. I love you and watching your videos I do not knit I do not spend but I would love to I'm just too afraid to start I don't even know where to start. Thank you for doing what you do Trish! 💜💜💜
33:58 So glad you're feeling better. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I always learn so much from you and gain inspiration! Now if I only had an additional few more hours in the day to play with all of my fiber toys😂
Thank you so much, Trish, for another excellent video. It pu are amazing and inspiring! I appreciate your sheer generosity too. Those gradients are beautiful and you’ve inspired me to give it a go on the drumcarder… Love how your nails match the blending board blue!! 😊
They turned out beautiful. I enjoyed watching this video. I also enjoy watching you and your husband do the dyeing of the fleeces too. Have a good day 🙂
The last set of rolags (blue/black/rust) is gorgeous! It makes me want to pull out my blending board and stash dive. But I just got some pretty fiber in the mail that my fingers are itching to spin! 😉
Whooooo it's so creative 😊 love the colour you choose. You make it seem so easy. Wish I had more free time to try it out. ❤ Thank you for taking the time to show us.
This was a great tutorial! I learned so much as always. You have a way of explaining things that make sense. I also like the way you show things visually so we don't have to guess what you are doing, if that made sense. I don't have a drum carder but I have had a blending board for over a year. I can't wait to try this. You made it look so easy. Love all your videos! Thank you.
Gorgeous!! So glad to see the doorstop!!! I struggle holding the handle and drafting 😂-. Now all I need is a doorstop! And I agree No Fun spinning from a tight “rolog”. - so much easier and and smoother for me with a nice soft loose “rolog”!!! Have a great day!!
Oh my gooness! I am going through my backlog of paradise fibers subscription and blending some gradients!!!! Thank you for the inspiration and information❤
Great video!! As I was watching, I couldn’t figure out how you were going to do that gradient on a drum carder!! So fun to watch how you did that. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks for bringing us along on your fiber journey!
@@FiberLoveDiary i really did. I'm going to watch it again and then try my hand at it on my blending board. I need to re-watch the video you did with re-arranging a braid as well.
Wow, they're all so beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial, you make it so easy to understand and I always want to run off and try out the techniques you show as soon as I watch your videos!
Perfect timing. I now have to take this apart to work with the limitations of my tools., but now I know the lay of the land! Thank you for helping me with gradients and self striping. I have been picking this apart in my head for awhile.
If you have hand cards, I think you could break it down a little like I did the gradient braid breakdown 🤔. I've been thinking about how to do it with hand cards since I started editing
@@FiberLoveDiary I have dog brushes that are so tiny it makes me want to rip out my hair. I was thinking more combs. Im still thinking about how to do it with combs.
The cultural hive mind is at work! Katherine at Craft Me Happy (she's based in the UK) just did a video doing something similar with optical blending. I think hers posted after yours. Very cool! I just happened to watch hers right before this one.
I want to do this!❤ I just received my 1st order from Paradise Fibers. I’m still on my 1st practice fiber. I made the mistake of buying different fiber thinking it was all the same. Thanks for all your help. I’ve learned so much from all your videos.
I've read all of the Elizabeth George Inspector Lynley books. Waiting for the next one, please. I think my guild is going to do some fiber blending this year. I'll have to point them to your channel.
Great tutorial! They are all so beautiful. I love how many different suggestions you have for how to mix up your spinning to keep it exciting. Your videos are very inspiring. (And they are just the perfect length)
I used to think it was weird to divide out a batt that way you do with that n or z method until I tried it. Now I like it better than strips because it almost like continuous roving. It’s a great tip! I saw it first on one of your videos years ago.
Oh my goodness they turned out so beautifully. Definitely going to try this! We got about 6 inches of snow today. Snowed from 7 last night to about 6pm, but it could still be off and on until about 9. Christmas snow was behind a bit ;p.
Whaaaat! A Michigan fan making a straight up UK batt😆. Go big blue!🤣. We love you in ky trish. I always wanted to try to make a gradient, but was too afraid to mess up what fiber I have. Thanks for the video as always🥰
Thank you for sharing this technique! Yes, I was intimidated by color management but you make it effortless! Love your color choice. Time to experiment!
You are so welcome! I think a lot of us are because we know there's stuff that doesn't work, but we may not know why/ what don't work. I hope you try this out!
I love all the colors today! Specially the second one, I did a blend similar to this with a gold and turquoise. I’ve always wanted to own a drum carder but they are so expensive. Love the work!
Thanks for this information Trish! I have the same drum carder. Still in the box because I’m scared to use it. This may have encouraged me to brave it out! 🎉❤
@@FiberLoveDiary I’m going to have to!! Before, it was what colors. What fiber what what what??I did that when I bought my wheel now I have 2 wheels and an espinner. Can’t stay away for long 💕

Your creativity always inspires me! There aren't enough hours in the day for me to play with all these ideas! Thank you - this video was great.
You are sooo inspirational....love how you simplify the gradient which would normally perplex my old brain.❤
Thank you for laying in out before hand… makes so much sense!
Off to pull out my blending board and bag of mill ends!
I do love a good, long Trish video!
Week you certainly got it this time!

Thank you 😊
That blue!! Gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see this spun up!!!
Me neither 🤣
Love how blending works ❤️ can’t wait to see these spun 😃🌈⭐️❤️
1. I love the skill of blending this. 2. There is a song playing ~ minute 11 that kind of sounds like a folk version of Quiet Riot's "Come on Feel the Noise." I'm here for it.
I better check which song that is 🤣
I like that you showed what you called a mistake (learning opportunity) it builds the community! Thanks again Trish, so glad I found you ❤️ 💕
Oh I love that you are showing the blending board as that is all I have 😊

I absolutely love how these turned out, love and hugs trish , John and dogos xx
Now I have a reason to take my blending board back out. Thanks Trish.
I'm so glad you feel inspired

Came for a break from the world, stayed for the fibery goodness!
Well that is such a compliment. Hope you got enough of both ❤️
Thanks for sharing this. They were all beautiful, but the 3 color is outstanding! I would love to see them spun up.
I'll definitely show finished yarns unless they're all sold 🤣
33:58 So glad you're feeling better. Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I always learn so much from you and gain inspiration! Now if I only had an additional few more hours in the day to play with all of my fiber toys😂

They turned out beautiful. I enjoyed watching this video. I also enjoy watching you and your husband do the dyeing of the fleeces too. Have a good day 🙂
Thank you! We haven't dyed much lately but now that we're better I'm sure we'll get on it soon.
@@FiberLoveDiary looking forward to that. 🙂

That was a great video, Trish! You are a magical wizard color-blender!! Love it, and now I need to go make that blue/green combo...GORGEOUS
Oh my gooness! I am going through my backlog of paradise fibers subscription and blending some gradients!!!! Thank you for the inspiration and information❤
What a good idea. So those smaller amounts could be so cool combined!
I am soo glad you are feeling better 💜
Great video!! As I was watching, I couldn’t figure out how you were going to do that gradient on a drum carder!! So fun to watch how you did that. Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks for bringing us along on your fiber journey!
i really want to see that last gradient as its spun up. omg its so lovely
Love the blue/green blend!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Great video, thank you so much!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

from Gerry- So good!!! Keep up the great teaching and bringing us along for the journey. God bless.
So cool! I think I need to invest in a blending board and play around more! 🤔🤩
Waiting for my blending board to arrive and make some beautiful colour combos🩷💚💜🧡🩵
Super cool! Thanks for showing us!
Just bought a blending board! Can't wait to make rolags!
Those came out so amazing and just solidified that I really need a blending board.
Yep, there are quite a few videos out there on making your own.

Thank you for this tutorial! It definitely has inspired me to play with my blending board.
This looks like a great technique! I can't wait to try it.
Hope you like it!
Wow this is amazing and beautiful! You make it look soo easy that I think I could do it💜
Very cool! Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
I always learn so much from you! Ty for all you do❤
So nice of you. Thanks!
Some day I'll get the tools to do this. So beautiful!
Okay you have got to stop making me want more fiber tools. My husband is gonna kill me 😂😂😂
Welcome! Are you new because this is what I do! 🤣🤣
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Very pretty, and a great tutorial, thanks!
Thank you! 😊
Love the blending and I want to try this!
Thank you!
Thanks, I'm going to give this a try. I really like your sweater.
I hope you do try it out. And thank you!

I'm sure lots of people think it's weird but in this case, when you really want to make sure you soon it in order, it's kind of nice!
Thank you. I learned so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing. You have inspired me❤
What a compliment❤️
Excellent tutorial 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome! Thanks for the tutorial.
Well thanks for watching!
Love love the colors
Oh my goodness they turned out so beautifully. Definitely going to try this! We got about 6 inches of snow today. Snowed from 7 last night to about 6pm, but it could still be off and on until about 9. Christmas snow was behind a bit ;p.
Thank you! It's snowing here too but it's not really building up, so it's okay 🙂
I have to start spinning again!
Whaaaat! A Michigan fan making a straight up UK batt😆. Go big blue!🤣. We love you in ky trish. I always wanted to try to make a gradient, but was too afraid to mess up what fiber I have. Thanks for the video as always🥰
I'm so ignorant of sorts teams, I've probably done them all at one time or another. But I love Kentucky!
Definitely getting a blending board
I really want a blending board. Maybe for my birthday! 🤞 Probably not since I just got a hackle and comb for Christmas.
So pretty! I need to get my drum carder out and play
Thanks for that! So helpful and soooooooo pretty!
Thank you for sharing this technique! Yes, I was intimidated by color management but you make it effortless!

You are so welcome! I think a lot of us are because we know there's stuff that doesn't work, but we may not know why/ what don't work. I hope you try this out!

Thank you, I will have to have a go. Will have to try with the dowels on my drum carder.
Master class.
I love all the colors today! Specially the second one, I did a blend similar to this with a gold and turquoise. I’ve always wanted to own a drum carder but they are so expensive. Love the work!
They are! I've wondered about it before. I'm not sure why 🤷🏼♀️
How fun! I have a bunch of tiny samples of colors that came with my blending board. You've got me excited to try this technique.
That sounds fun!
This was such a wonderful tutorial!! I am SO inspired
Wonderful! Hope everything is great with you! ❤️
Beautiful work a must try asap. thank you
This is a great video. Thank you !
That was sooooo much fun. I do have some colors that I will be trying to do the blending board technique. Thanks! You always inspire me
You are so welcome!
I haven't tried this z method. I like it.
If you're concerned about keeping steps in order, it can be helpful.
What makes these rolags fake? What's the difference?
Alice, I better do a short on this.
Thanks for this information Trish! I have the same drum carder. Still in the box because I’m scared to use it. This may have encouraged me to brave it out! 🎉❤
Glad it was helpful! I really hope you take it out of the box because once you start, it's so much fun!
@@FiberLoveDiary I’m going to have to!! Before, it was what colors. What fiber what what what??I did that when I bought my wheel now I have 2 wheels and an espinner. Can’t stay away for long 💕
I also do not like to spin too tight of a rolag. I’m gonna try doing a gradient but using hand carders and pulling thru a diz.
Those right ones are too hard to draft!
