This is so very interesting! I don’t spin (small apartment…), but playing with colors … So. Much. Fun. Absolutely love JAT yarns! I have a lot of fun just drooling over the fiber colors, though! Thank you for this! Painting with fiber! Can’t wait to see the Final Color!

Hehehe! i hear ya, can be very useful to stick to a managable number of crafts for sure. ;-) So glad you enjoyed it watching x
I love the way the wool colors are created. I also love when the tops specials come out. I'm excited for the new MOW ones and I need to get one of the Tour de Fleece as well. I thought it was pretty cool that you had other artists create this year.

chuffed to hear you like them! and yes, its been wonderful to see what other folks have come up with xx
Fascinating! Thank you so much, this reminds me of ‘playing’ with watercolour paint, adding green to red until it became various shades of brown. I’m definitely going to try yarn blending with some of your tops from a few years back; now I know what to do! Playtime!

yay! great to her its made you feel like giving some blending of your own a go. once you've got a recipe you like you can then scale up to a larger quantity. would love to hear how you get on x
Thank you for this , it is fab. I have been hoping you would demonstrate how you colour blend for a while as as I have a stash of single colour tops from when I did felting that I want to have a go at blending. 💖🌈
