51 Yarns: 34 — Spinning a Gradient

*I love helping people learn about fibre arts... I also have to pay the bills!

PLY Magazine is running a Spinalong to coincide with the launch of their book, 51 Yarns to Spin Before You Cast Off. You can post your entries on their Facebook, Instagram and Ravelry groups with the hashtags #51yarns, #handspunyarn and #plymagazine. There's a different theme each week and you can find a list of the topics and other information here: https://plymagazine.com/ply-books/51-... The best part is that one winner each week gets a one-year subscription to PLY! I've decided to play along in video form as well by creating a video each week to correspond with that week's spinalong theme.

This week it's Gradient, a colour style which is a great starting point for newcomers to dyed fibre, great practice for blending, and creates stunning effects in finished objects, whichever craft you decide to use them in. In this video I share my thoughts on acquiring or making a gradient fibre, plus some ideas about structures that work well for ombre fibre.

Next week (w/c Monday 26th November) is Double-Coated (Inner Coat). Hope to see you again then. In the meantime, happy spinning!
