After a long wait, I am finally back with another spinning vlog!  Join me while I spin some handpainted rainbow roving in two different ways - a thin short variegated repeat and a chunky long gradient.  I hope you enjoy seeing my thought process as I make things up as I go along, flaws and all!  

The video is split into two parts.  In Part 1, I separate the fiber and spin a N-ply worsted weight yarn with short color repeats.  In part 2, we spin and ply the chunky N-ply yarn with a long rainbow gradient.
