Have you ever wanted just a little bit of color for your spinning or knitting project? Have you ever wanted to spin your own gradient yarn? In this workshop, we will play with blending small amounts of fiber to create just the yarn that you want for your color work projects. We will work on blending colors to create gradient yarns. We will try our hand at blending types of fibers together to create additional color effects. We will discuss ways to transfer this knowledge to blending larger amounts of fiber for larger projects.
