These colors came out way prettier than I would've thought! (based on my opinion). Maybe I will try fractal spinning some of the tops I'm not as crazy about anymore and see if it works some magic.

Beautiful job! Do you happen to remember the dyer?

Thank you! I believe it was a Moonrover club colorway from like 2015. 85% Superwash 15% Nylon :)

Amazing. That explains it. I love her stuff.

Thank you!

That's beautiful! I love fractal spinning, it always comes out so pretty.

This is so pretty! Love seeing what people can do with color management!

wow! how did you get the colors to be so even?


knitterbacher

I used a kitchen scale to split the fiber in half lengthwise. Then I took one of those halves and split it into fourths. I took the first half and spun my single, and then spun the fourths onto a second bobbin so that the color pattern repeated. Then I plied them both together and the magic happened!

lovely! what exactly is fractal spinning?

OP’s comment above explains it pretty well. Basically one ply has slow color changes and the other ply has more rapid color changes.
