- Have you ever finished spinning some top that was space dyed and then wondered what would have happened if you had tried a different technique, or even just plied it differently? We're going to split this 8 ounces into 8 different spins. Crocheted and knitted swatches included! You can really see how these different spins affect color in the finished products.

Those pups wouldn't want to be anywhere but with you.
I live an hour from Paradise Fibers and like to stop by when I go to Spokane. They have the SWEETEST staff. I just picked up a Della Q case to house my new Electric Eel nano wheel.
I got a Della Q. Ruck bag as my purse/ project bag. When I go to my guild meetings I can put my EEW in it which is great. I love it!!!
So fun…. I love spinning studies. I learn so much… much better then a book.
I know its kind of silly but I kept staring at the pastel skein in the background at the beginning. Its beautiful and reminds me of unicorns. I also love watching you chain ply.
I'm same as you if I don't have a routine I dont do it lol I hate house work I'd rather just dye spin and knit crochet and weave lol. I'm so glad you did this as I struggle with moving out of my comfort zone, so thank you so much for this video. Much love and big hugs to you, John Luther and donkey
Thank you for taking the time to do this Trish! It was very interesting to see how each turned out with the different techniques. I did a similar study once with a fiber spun three different ways and each skein looked somewhat different, it was fun to see! I’ll look forward to the next study. Which I realize already may be out since I’m a few weeks behind lol
Boy, you have done all the work, now I don’t have to. I know that I like 3 ply yarns or chain plied. Seeing this just confirmed it. Thanks for doing what you do.
What a fun idea to do. I love that you knit AND crocheted samples out of each.
The colour way spins up really beautifully. Thanks for showing us both knitted and crochet samples. Personally I prefer the samples from the yarns that were spun without being split.
You make the chain plying look so easy!! And even with one of your cute puppies in your lap! 😊 My lil Yorkie wants to sit in my lap when I’m spinning but I have to concentrate to much right now.
I am always amazed at the outcome of colorways. I looked at that 8 ounce of fiber and thought, Yuck, who thought to put those colors together? But I loved them spun up! I just can't seem to visualize how colors will spin up. Thank you for taking the time to make this study. Very helpful.
I love how differently each one of these came out, Trish! I loved the way the striping worked in the crochet swatches, many hand dyed yarns have such short colour sections and I loved the more gradual transitions. I would also be curious to see how the yarns worked as weaving yarns.
Long time crocheter and new knitter….I’ve learned that I prefer variegated yarns in a knit fabric. I like the distribution of the colours much better. Crochet will always be my first love but this just reinforces it. I like the thin lines of colour over the chunks. So now I have to remember to split my top lengthwise when I spin next time. Thanks Trish!
I like the look of the knitted pieces, the colours flow nicer
I would be interested to see the difference sinning from the fold next to these as you said it would make a big difference colour wise in the finished yarn. Your videos are what made me get into first weaving then spinning. Love them all, and appreciate all the work you put into them. Thank you from Canada where we need all the wooly stuff we can get, lol.
I like how the different samples turned out.
I think I like the chain plied ones best and I do like it both ways too...split less, split more, w different looks and I like them both :)
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. It's awesome to see how many different ways one top can be spun.
You're so welcome!
Wow. Thanks for showing the differences. They are all beautiful yarn.
Your doggies are so cute.
Yes I have noticed the different ways of spinning and plying coloured fibres .thank you.
Thank you for doing this! I love these comparison videos. Also, thank you for reminding me that I wanted to wash our sheets today. 🤣
This was very interesting! Amazing how different they turned out. I love those colors together all knit and crocheted up!
It's amazing how many factors affect the outcome of your final item! I have yet to try chain plying - for some reason it scares me 😆
I am a beginner and this made so much sense to me. Thank you. Loved watching you chain ply!!!
I love these experimental tutorials - so educational!!! Thanks so much
Glad you like them!
Still to this day, I prefer striped yarn knitted as I am fussy with how it pools in crochet where one colour yarn I love to crochet with xx
Truly amazing how they worked up, Love them all, especially the colors, my favorite would be the last one knitted, Thanks for sharing, Hugs
I have been wanting an electric spinning wheel for a while. Today I ordered the EEW 6.0 with my tax refund. I am super excited to play with it.
Super helpful in understanding how splitting the yarn changes the color. Thanks for sharing
Super interesting. I can’t wait to see the whole project. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I have a bunch of this same fiber waiting to be spun. Thanks for doing all the sampling and swatching for me! I wasn't sure how I wanted to spin it. I'm looking forward to next week's video to see how the other 4 turn out.
So many ideas and reasons given for color distribution depending on technique used. Great to see!
So glad you included crochet! Very interesting, thank you❤️
Your hair looks so pretty. Love those colours, so much to learn. Thanks for doing this it is very interesting.
very interesting video, thanks!
This is so COOL!!!! I can't wait for part 2, I split mine in half vertically, then spun each one end to end and chain plyed them so I can make matching mittens, but I haven't gotten around to the knitting part yet. I better get on that or winter will be over before I even begin.
Trish, awesome comparison video!! Thanks for sharing this with us!! You Rock Girlfriend!!🥰

I spun mine from the end and I love it. It doesn't look anything like the fiber.
I love the thicker stripes on the knit, it’s so pretty!
I ‘m working on a fractal spin I started in July for the Tour de Fleece, sigh. I spun 1/2 the braid end to end on one bobbin and split the other half into 3rds and spinning them end to end, making sure the color repeats are in the same order, on the 2nd bobbin, like yours they’ll just be shorter. I’m on the last 3rd, then I can ply. Wish mine went as fast as it looks like yours does, oh the beauty of filming ;p. I’m looking forward to finishing this one as I have another deep stash fiber I’m pulled to spin!
I loved this video so much! I am new to chain plying and still struggle with it. This is encouraging me to keep trying. The results are so worth it.
Love the chain ply the best in this lot.
Good comparison! I liked the chain plied knitted sample. That's typically how I spin braids anyway these days. It's interesting to see how different the color repeats look in the crochet vs knitted sample. I guess the stitch size/style is the only difference there?
I have this roving and will save these 2 videos for future reference. I myself like the chain ply samples.
Thank you! This was exactly what I needed. ❤
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I do not have the time or accessories to do this, and it is a way of learning about fiber.
Great video.
Thank you for breaking this roving down it helped give me ideas about breaking it down to spin. You have such great insite that helps in my journey! 🥰
Thanks for making this video Trish. I know it must have been alot of work. I really found it very informative and helpful for future spinning projects.
This is so great Trish! I always thought I liked shorter color repeats, but I really like the long ones. Can’t wait to see the other half.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for doing these samples! I have been looking at this fiber trying to decide how I would prep it, and couldn't make up my mind. I'm planning on using mine for weaving, but it helps to see the color repeats. I hope your other preps include some blending! 🤗
Thank you! It was both helpful and interesting to see the differences and similarities!
New subbie, here! What a great experiment. I am also very taken with how the resulting yarns look so much more subtle and toned down that the top. Surely due to the colors mixing, of course. I have a number of dyed tops I had dyed a few years back, and I am excited to try this experiment with them, as they turned out brighter than I thought they would when I dyed them, and I felt they would look too circus-y for my taste as garments…your experiment has me thinking perhaps they will be ok! Thank you for sharing this!
Welcome! I didn't really say it, but I think the way they were toned down was due to the dark red and dark greenish blue that was dyed in large sections. It seemed to blend with the brighter colors and tone them way down.
Wow That is so interesting! Though I do like the look of the chain spun better, learned that about myself today.
Excellent educational video! I don't spin (yet), but this helped me understand more about the yarn I buy too!
Thanks for this! I had to buy this fiber after the unboxing video and love seeing the different options.
Such an interesting study! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m loving this study. I would have never thought that Fibre would spin up so pretty. I agree the 3rd swatch is my favorite also. So far all 4 scream Big comply sweater 😊
I like the self striping look I actually am wanting to try to get a self stripe yarn
From Gerry- Wash is done on Sunday, bathrooms and kitchen floor are Wednesday because I have a small group in my house. It's a great habit because it all gets done within the week. I have never washed my single before chain plying. It seems to work. This is a great teaching video. Thanks for all you do for us. Blessings.
This was a really fun experiment!
This was super fun! Thanks Trish!
This is such an interesting study.
This is so interesting! I’m looking forward to seeing the next video as well as Boogeyman (huge Stephen King fan) Thanks for such a fun and informative study. I’m inspired to do the same after seeing yours.
Huzzah!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Oooh, thank you so much Trish, I really appreciate all the work you put into this. Having all these samples with the same braid as a starter really shows the options so well. I have a lovely braid waiting for me, I now know exactly how I want to spin it, as a whole, chain plied. Love it!
I loved this vid Trish! Thank you for sharing! Love you!🥰
What a great video. I love the color study! Along with the breed study and the one where you blended a braid for a gradient…. These I will watch over and over. You explain the process so well. Thanks Trish!
Thanks for this!
A very interesting watch.
Another excellent video - thank you, R
Trish. This is just so informative and inspiring!! How wonderful to see both knitted and crocheted swatches - stunning difference. You put so much work into producing these videos - it is SO appreciated!! Looking forward to the next installment! 😊🙏
Love the comparisons!
As always your information is so helpful....
That’s really interesting. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thanks for this very informative video. Love it!
Hi!!!! I wish I got to watch this before I spun my bit of this I had. I couldn’t get into it because the color repeats were shorter than the staple lengths I think.
That’s cool. Thanks for do this, have thought about doing this too.
I learn so much from you x thank you
This fibre of the month was my least favourite and I have struggled with doing anything with it. So thank you for doing this. They are still not my fav colours but now I know how I want to spin it 💗
Very interesting! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I just got my first spindle so I'm trying to learn all I can. Its so fun. Its been somewhat difficult but I absolutely love being able to create projects with fiber that I've handspun. Thank you for the inspiration!
I just recently started spinning (with a hand spindle for now), and I'm halfway through the sample fibres from my starter set. Thank you for this study, it really helps beginners like me to see how many options you have with just one roving/batt/etc, I will definitely refer back to this when I've bought my first dyed fibers. But I guess I should learn to ply my semi-consistent singles first 😂
Trish I love this video. I’m stepping into the world of dyeing. Do you have a video using food coloring gel? Thanks. Love the koolaid video also.
Great video. Very interesting ❤
Wow, this is so interesting, especially for a beginner. If you were using the yarn for weaving would your preference change and why? Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
vote: #1 knit, #2 crochet, #3 knit, #4 crochet.... and now i have to swatch both on everything...thanks. 🤣
Hi Trish! Thanks for the demo it's very informative. I was wondering if you happen to know the approximate wpi?
Curious, would weaving turn out with same color patterning?
on the chain ply, what speed and tension (i know i know, just give me feel) do you have it at? i can chain play like a mad woman on the drop spindle, but i still get so many breaks trying it on the eew. i have the tension way low, speed medium low (compared to the single), but still lots of breaks. i must be doing something wrong.
I’ve never seen that swift before. What brand is it? If anyone knows.
