awesome now I understand it turned out beautiful

[@camajfiberarts]

Glad it helped you!

[@LoveoftheDarkFiberArts]

WOW! Thank you for sharing this! I just got a gorgeous blended top from a company, and I am so excited to use this method!

[@marlaatml]

Thank you

[@camajfiberarts]

My pleasure ;)

[@howlingwind1937]

Thank you for sharing that technique, I always got frustrated when my colours ended up drab an unexciting, this is so simple, and I never thought of doing that, instead I'd separate all the colours. Thank you. Cheers!

[@camajfiberarts]

Of course. Cheers to you!

[@NessunDisegno]

Thank you!!! Lovely!!!

[@BethDonovan1]

Thanks, Mary! You make it so understandable!

[@camajfiberarts]

You're welcome ♡

[@beadyeyedbrat]

simply brilliant

[@Marionnetteandco]

Thank you for the tutorial!! I am really fond of this technique 😍😍

[@camajfiberarts]

You're very welcome

Thank you! I did find it challenging spinning this way merino-silk blend: with silk fiber pulled more than merino I would ended up with just the wisps of merino at the end of each section. Also really difficult, when the colours are very blended and almost on top of each other! Wonder if I was doing something wrong ? (I did try to maintain a light grip)

[@msbabio]

That was great. Thank you.

[@camajfiberarts]

You're welcome

Fantastic tutorial! I love it!! This is now one of my challenges for tour de fleece!! Now to find a fabulous fiber to do this with. Can you only do it with woolen top, or will it work with worsted roving also? Did I get the two straight? lol

[@camajfiberarts]

LOL!!! I would say give it a go and see how it works. I have spun from the fold from batts sort of stripped into pieces.

[@turfwriter]

Mary, was this a standard 2 ply you did? Did you line the singles up end to end or do anything special with the ply arrangement?

[@oliverconnor9375]

Good

[@camajfiberarts]

Thank you so much ♡♡

[@lizkimber]

[@camajfiberarts]

Weird, not sure how this happened...Oh well.

It's beautiful, but still has a barber pole effect.
