I've been having so much fun lately blending different colors of roving and then spinning them up to see what I get. Want an example?
Check out this roving here:
A blend of Coral Red, Turquoise Blue and a Gold. The gold is really neat. One minute it's gold and the next a real subtle green. It completely depends on the light and which of the two colors are next to it.
I've blended it twice (by putting it through the hackle) to get a less pronounced striping effect. I really like it.
Here's what it looks like spun up as a single:
The color is a bit bright in that one. Here they are together and a little less bright:
I'll be pulling out those couple of slubs when I ply it. Even with the slubs it looks pretty neat. This colorway would be a fun one to do as an art yarn as well.
I can't wait to see what it looks like as a plied yarn!
