You might have guessed by now how much I like rainbows if you have visited here or my shop, so today's post should come as no surprise. Fresh off my spinning wheel this week is a self striping skein of a bright rainbow yarn. I completely geeked out while making it and seeing the rainbow appear on my bobbin that I stopped to take a picture.

I then plied it with a ply of BFL wool/silk blend in a cream grey color. Above are the results. I would like to learn how to mix two rainbow ply together matching up the colorways so they don't overly bleed into the next color, but I'm not sure how to make each color strand the same length. I see some experimenting in my future. This skein came out at 148 yards and is available in my Etsy shop for purchase. I have more of the rainbow wool so what do you think I should ply it with next the next time I spin? I'm thinking a light blue might be really pretty, but I am up for suggestions.

I love the results! The light grey really tones it down, but accentuates the colour at the same time. I think you have hit it spot on with light blue for the next one...or maybe a light green. Have fun experimenting.
ReplyDeleteThat. Is. So. Cool. It's like magic that you can make your own rainbow yarn. :)
