Blended Rainbow Roving Tutorial

First we start with the fiber being aligned on the drum carder.

Make sure each color remains separate on the carder.

Doff the completely carded fibers at the seam.

Just another view of the doffed fibers.

 

Bring first color through the diz, pulling slowly and firmly.

Incorporate the second color while you still have some of the first color fibers in your hand.

You now have two colors that are blended.

Here is a picture of all the colors blended together.

Once you have reached the end of the carding cloth, start back in the opposite direction.

Continue back and forth until you have the desired results you want and you have finished with the fiber on your carder.

Just back and forth.

Again, back and forth.

Once you reach the end of the fiber, you have a completed roving.
