Questionable Blend 4 - Rainbow by World of Wool. Making blending board pencil roving. 100% merino

This video accompanies my blog post on the various ways of spinning ‘Questionable Blends’. I’m using the word ‘questionable’ to describe any vertically blended top that contains colours from more than half of the colour wheel. The kinds of blends that would cast doubt in the minds of even the most experienced of spinners and have them questioning how it might turn out.
Most of the blends that I’ve chosen for this series are highly likely to turn ever so slightly grey or brown if no attention is paid to colour management, and the colours are allowed to optically blend together.
This particular fibre is Rainbow from World of Wool and it's 100% Merino. It contains 7 colours, presumably to represent the 7 colours of the rainbow - www.worldofwoo...
All of the yarns in this series will be spun on my Electric Eel Wheel 6 - (Affiliate link) - www.dreamingro...
In this video, I break off a section of the multicoloured top the length of my blending board and then open it out as much as possible so that the colours are sitting next to each other rather than on top of each other. I then roll it all up into one big rolag and draft it out from the end into a kind of pencil roving.
