Process or Just Making Things Difficult?

Dyeing rovings has me thinking much about process lately. While I am applying colour to a roving, I am already envisioning how the finished fibre will turn out. After I see the finished roving I may completely change my mind and throw a whole different process into the mix.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am never able to fully plan out a spinning project like I do with a knit project. Lately I find myself trying to create a greater depth of colour by having more than one roving per skein involved. I want subtle changes and I have spun enough rovings now to know what I don't like.

These particular rovings have my full attention right now.

Alone, not impressive, but together magical.....Now since I've only used 50 grams of each for my skein, I have 2 - 50g rovings left. I have the option of repeating this...(which I love)

Or introducing a 3rd roving (solid green)

• or plying the remaining half rovings on to themselves
• or spinning a small art yarn from one and a solid from the other

How to tackle what seems like such a simple procedure...JUST SPIN IT.....

No, I don't think I would be happy with that. Will show you the finished project.

An update on the secret project....

Hmmmm.
