How to Make Rolags on a Blending Board | The Art of the Companion Ply #2

There are infinite possibilities in the combinations of colors and fiber you can put together on a blending board! Follow along as I experiment with these combinations, and give you tips and tricks I use to make gorgeous rolags perfect for hand spinning.
Have you ever found the most gorgeous hand dyed braid of fiber, but have no idea what to ply it with? Well, making your own hand blended rolags gives you the freedom and artistry to create the perfect companion ply! In this video I give you a quick overview of how to make rolags on a blending board, and a look at how I choose colors and fibers to blend together.
I hope I can inspire you to be adventurous in your own fiber experiments!

I love making rolags as much as I love knitting! I just am unsure of how thick to make my layers on the blending board. I make my own fibers from leftover wool yarn.

What size knitting needles do you use to make the rolags???

[@pamyclark1263]

Wide enough to span the width of the board, and a diameter size strong enough to pull the rolags without bending(ie: size 9-10.)

These are beautiful! It gave me an idea for some hand dyed Falkland roving.
