Questionable Blend 4 - Rainbow by World of Wool. Dizzing a Rainbow off the Blending Board.

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 painstakingly separate all of the colours out into the 7 colours of the rainbow and then spread them out on my blending board. Once I've covered the board with 3 lengths of top I use my diz to draft off a kind of variegated top, moving left and right up the board.

Thank you!

An amazing video! Thanks for the info on 'diz'ing. Please could i ask if it would be better to just buy the solid colours to save separating each top?

[@KathrynCraftmehappy]

Thank you so much! Yes, absolutely. This video accompanies my blog series on the various ways of spinning commercially available multicoloured blends to avoid the colours blending together into mud. This was quite an extreme experiment.
It would be much easier and quicker to just buy 7 different colours and run strips down the blending board.
