I continue my experiments with thin rovings and crazy wool technique. This time I used rainbow coloured ball (at the bottom of picture):
The roving/pre-yarn I work with is much thinner than standard pencil roving:
The technique is the same as earlier: the layer of roving, very thin layer of matching merino, another layer of roving and generous layers of silk/viscose fibres in matching colours on both sides.
The result:
I'm quite happy with colours and the sheen:
This is how thin and holey the scarf is:
I'm still struggling to find a thickness I'm happy with, so you are to see more experiments!
The colours and sheen are gorgeous Galina! I look forward to seeing more of these :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process at the moment!.. :)
DeleteAhhhh this looks really good ! Love the mixing of the colours !!!
ReplyDeleteSaw the pre yarn / roving but didn't know what to use it for ... now I know ;-)
(it isn't strong saw someone knitting with it first (before felting) a delicate process !!!)
I've actually knitted with pre-yarn but not with so thin. This one breaks too easy!
DeleteBeautiful Galina!
