I hadn’t thought of doing it this way. What I’ve been doing is when I fill a shuttle, I take a second shuttle and transfer the yarn on the first shuttle to the second. So, at the end, my yarn will match exactly to what’s next on the skein. Repeat the process. Thx for showing an alternative
This is genius!! Thank you so much for the explanation. I have this problem all the time and was always winding onto a shuttle, then rewinding it onto another shuttle to correct the color sequence.
I truly would constantly think about the gradient when shopping for yarn and thread and wondering if the yarn would follow that smooth color pattern as you were making something with that particular boucle or would you need to organize somehow. Thank you so very much for making a video not on answering that question but “how-to” examples of going about it. 🙏🏾
Actually- for those who are not as adept at "visualization" the thread/yarn end you 1st start winding with should be the end of your weaving, fill the shuttle (that will be the last shuttle you use when weaving), pick up the next shuttle, attach and wind - that is your second to your last shuttle, and so forth. It's much easier and the likelihood of getting one reversed is reduced. Going first to last is too easy for many to reverse wind by mistake. And yes, I number all of them too.

Thank you! As a new weaver I would never have thought to wind bobbins as the thread is wound. I would have been disappointed with pooling..
I think you did a fabulous job of explaining how to use gradients. Thank you.
Thank you, this was exactly what I asked at my fiber arts guild but didn’t get a clear answer…. Really appreciate this demonstration!!!
Thank you for all your helpful RHL tips. I have watched about 6 videos so far and have learned so much.
Thank you for this lesson, haven't used my gradient yarn yet. 👍👍👍
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to figure out. Thank you so much for the great video!
I've had a stash for four years...now I can use it! Thank you!!!
thanks a lot for your explanation, it's genious! 👍🏻
ty so much! I love varigates and this will really help me use them more effectively

Brilliant!!!!!!
Very, very helpful. However, could you give tips on how to match up the gradient if you need to use two balls of yarn in the weft?
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Going to do it right the first time.
Brilliant
Thank you so much! Answers all my questions!
Thank you! Just started weaving and this is very helpful! It's too late for my first shawl 😄 but my next will be perfect thanks to your video 👌
Great!! Very helpful!! Thanks! I will begin to use gardient yarns what I used to avoid until now.
Wonderful video. Thank you. That was just what I needed help with.

So glad it was helpful!
Brilliant!
That was really useful, thank you!
Thank you, Amy! Are you just using regular masking tape?

What do you use for warp
What tool are you using - bobbin winder?
Can you tell us how wide and long your scarf is? How many yards was your warp?
