What is Fractal Spinning?                                                                                             Fractal spinning is using different colors of fiber in different lengths to create a gradient blend of colors in sections.

How do you spin fractal roving?
The yarn shown for this roving was spun by splitting the longer repeat braid in half lengthwise and spun end to end on one bobbin and the shorter repeat braid split in half lengthwise and spun end to end on another bobbin.  Then you ply those bobbins together to create a 2-ply yarn.
Different splits will change the gradient and repeats in the yarn.

 

This is really fun technique to use to spin yarn. There is a general idea of what you will get but the final results are always a fun surprise.
