What was your inspiration?

Spun a piece of roving in 4 ways and knit a swatch, clockwise:

-Spun with combination drafting, that is random drafting and trying to mix colours as much as possible. Then did a 2-ply.

-Split roving vertically in 10 strips, then spun and Navajo plied.

-Separated colors and spun them one after another. Navojo ply.

-Fractal spinning (split roving on 2, split one half in 8 strips) then did a 2-ply.

What are you most proud of?

Being such a good student by trying it all out in an organised manner ;-)

Thank you Felicia! As for the method, I was really surprised by the effect of fractal spinning, but for result prefered the separated colors swatch.
