This video accompanies a blog post I’ve written, explaining a method I'm calling 'linear blending' You can read more about it here - https://www.craftmehappy.com/2022/01/linear-blending-wool-gradient.html.
I may or may not have invented a method for easily blending my own gradients or ombre yarns using a simple method of reading the required percentage value off a graph.
Here, I’m using a pair of mini wool combs that I made myself. You can read how I made them on my blog here - https://www.craftmehappy.com/2021/12/diy-3d-printed-mini-wool-combs-spinning.html
