Fractal Spinning, But Make it a Gradient!
ฝัง

- I have wanted to do some fractal spinning, but make it a gradient colorway for a while now. I've even had the perfect fiber for this project just sitting in my stash, waiting. Well, it is finally time so let's spin up a gradient fractal yarn!
🤓The mathematical definition of a fractal is a geometric figure that retains it's character or shape regardless of scale. We are taking some liberties with this definition and applying it to the color pattern of our "fractal" yarn.
🐑 The fiber in this video is from Wild Hare it is the "Mermaid" and "Shenandoah" colorways on Falkland combed top. (Affiliate) Etsy Shop: shrsl.com/2u1b1
🧶 I'm spinning with an Ashford E-Spinner 3. You can get yours from your local Ashford dealer, or the Woolery (affiliate) woolery.com/ashford-e-spinner...
🧐 Typo Alert: It should say "Falklands Wool" not "Falkland's Wool"
Let's Get Spinning!

Absolutely beautiful! I want to spin just like you when l grow up. (I am already 70. When does a spinner grow up?)
Never 😉💜🧶
@@JillianEve Right on Sister!
🤭@@tracysmith7935
Woohoo! Only another spinner knows the excitement of two bobbins matching up! Beautiful yarn! I’m learning so much from you!
Honestly, I just want to buy this fiber so that I can do a fractal like this and then knit it in a fair isle yolk sweater with a charcoal grey.
Ahhh that feeling when a plan comes together perfectly. Your excitement is contagious. It is absolutely beautiful yarn. 👌💕
"And it's perfection!" Omg you're adorable Evie! Your enthusiasm is definitely contagious, so thank you for spreading your joy 🤗
Thanks for explaining the fractal technique with such great words AND visual. I totally get it now!🥰 You obviously get it, too, as perfectly as your bobbins lined up😃
I'm so glad the visual helped! It's a fun technique that's for sure! 💜🧶🐑😊
I know this video was a while ago, but I'm just finding it now! And I'm in awe!! This is exactly what I was looking for, and you explained it so well!! Thank you!!!
Oh I love it when my bobbins are so close like that!!!! It’s like a special kick ass kind of feeling 😂 beautiful yarn!!!
It totally is! Thank you! 💜🧶🐑😊
unrelated to the actual topic but that red eyeshadow really brings out the gorgeous color of your eyes! but we already knew you are good at picking colors so no surprise there :)
That is gorgeous yarn!! Wow...
So pretty
I just got so excited like your dog!
What lovely yarn and a great idea! Im still a beginner but I can only spin so many barber pole 2 plys 😅
I feel like those barber pole 2-plys hit different when the color shifts are intentional. I hope you got some inspiration! 💜🧶🐑😊
Hi Evie, hope youre all ok.
Love, love your Fractal Yarn. The colours are so jewel like .
Not sure I'll ever be so good. But live in hope.
Happy Spinning.
Take care & stay safe.
Lots of love Jenxxxx
You only popped up on my feed this afternoon. Xxx.
Just keep practicing! You'll get there!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜🧶
This is what I need to know!!😀👍
Thank you thank you I am new you are a wonderful teacher.
You are so welcome, happy spinning! 💜🐑🧶
What a beautiful yarn evie and how are you enjoying your e spinner I really want a small mini one for travelling or when we are allowed to again sit in a cafe and spin while having a coffee and a chat with friends one day it will happen x
Yes, some day! I'm enjoying it a lot! I'll have a video on it soon. I wanted to get a good sense of it first though. 💜🧶🐑😊
Wow, it's gorgeous! Im always getting husband and dog hair in my spins!
Very pretty!
Thank you!
Congrats on the awesome plying out come. It's not an accident. You have put in the time and practice.
Thank you! 🥰
That yarn came out so stinking amazing! And only a teeny bit of length different 🤯
I'm still amazed that happened! 💜🧶🐑😊
That is gorgeous!
That is gorgeous! 😱😍
I am so glad I discovered your videos! I put them on and watch them while I crochet. Also I know this is an old video but your hair in this one is 💯💯💯
Gorgeous colors!
Wow! It encourages me to give it a try! ❤️
i love using those kinds of gradients as the contrast in color work. instant rainbows for the win! :D
You nailed it 🎉👍👍👍🌈
Beautiful yarn
Wow- absolutely gorgeous!!
Wow such beautiful colors, and the two braids went together just perfectly!
That's just beautiful!
This is truly lovely yarn!!
Wow the bobbins came out so close! It is gorgeous!!! As someone with too many projects going on I agree you can never have too many projects!
This is absolute fun 🤩
Beautiful!
Very lovely yarn! And I love the way you let your enthusiasm show, it's contagious! :-) Thank you for a great tutorial
That was very creative
That result IS perfection I just got into working with fiber a year ago- store-bought acrylic to crochet with, but seeing what you've done here with roving is making me think it's time to play with other fibers and make my own yarn, one day.
That is really beautiful!
this yarn is absolutely gorgeous.
Wow, beautiful! ❤
So amazing!!!!!! I need to try this!!
This yarn has me vibrating with happiness!
Love to see the project you used this yarn for. It is perfection!
😍 I LOVE IT !!
Beautiful yarn! ❤️
Thank you!
So lovely. Very creative of how you merged the two different braids together. Love it.
Those colors are scrumptious, beautiful the way it turned out
I love the colours!!!
Thank you!
You're correct!! That is just perfect!! So lovely, and love the new spinner. Colours are so rich, and the colour shifts are just beautiful. Thanks for showing this and giving us all inspiration and confidence to try new things 😊💖🙏🏻
Yay! 💜🧶🐑😊
I feel so inspired! So glad I found your channel :) Thank you!
That came out awesome, I love it!
Wow!! So pretty :)
Wowzers....nice job on equally spinning the bobbins! Gorgeous work.
Thank you!
Bravo! Beautiful!
Thanks!
I love this! The colors are so beautiful. I was getting excited at the same time. 😊
PERFECTION indeed ❤️❤️❤️✨ 😁
Wow impressive plying!! That almost never happens in real life🤣Wonderful yarn!
Love the colors! That yarn turned out amazing!
Thank you so much! 💜🧶🐑😊
Thank you got me into spining
Awesome! Do you love it? 💜🧶🐑😊
This is so cool!! Absolutely love the colors and how you explain why you are doing what you do with the fluff
Oh my gosh, it is gorgeous. I love it. Great job!!!
Thank you!
Wow, that really is perfection! I´ve been meaning to try a bit of fractal spinning but until this excellent explanation of how to actually do it, it´s been a little scary. Thank you for the push and the enthusiasm!
It’s so wonderful when you bobbins end so close 🥰
The best! 😄
What a gorgeous finished yarn! Fractals are so much fun. I've never come that close with my plies, great job!
Thank you! Keep spinning and it will happen some day! 😉💖🧶
Thank you for this explanation. I am going to try this with a braid I have. I have been searching for this info everywhere btw. ❤😊
That came out beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
You are adorable and that yarn is fabulous! Great work girl!
First..gorgeous! Second…I’m confused. You divided…. Never mind,.,. I went back and watched again. (I missed something vital). So the beginning and ends of this skein are close in color and the center areas start to mix … that is so cool. Thank you!
Yep! 😊💖🧶
I got so excited when I saw that you also do short drafts with your left hand, I do that too! :D
Melissa of Wild Hare is a wiz with vibrant colors!
100%!!!
this video was posted on my birthday!
Jillian, that was the best fractal spin I've seen yet. That skein is gorgeous!
Thank you! It was so much fun!
Wow so Cool county on learning that plying!
Thank you, so awesome that I can inspire to do some spinning!!
Awesome! Happy spinning! 💜🧶🐑😊
It came out SO GOOD! I'd pay top dollar for sure. You're awesome at what you do, thank you so much for sharing!!
Beautiful yarn! I’ve would have not thought of that combo! Now I need to look at my favorite roving/braids and think differently! As for your bobbins ending the ply with less than a yard you are just that good!
Rearranging colors opens up endless possibilities! 💜🧶🐑😊
This is great! I have so much trouble with fractals, but that’s because I keep splitting it. I should probably practice it this way a couple times to get the hang of it!
I feel like the 1/2 + 1/4 1/4 split makes a big color impact. Happy spinning! 💜🧶🐑😊
Daaaaaang, that turned out super pretty!
Your talent continues to inspire me! I blame you for my fall into the spinning rabbit hole! 😄 - Michele
my fave thing about that spinner is that the jumbo bobbins are standard. it is almost magic how much they can hold. i packed two bobbins with singles and ended up with enough 2-ply yarn for a whole sweater. editing to add... that finished yarn is GORGEOUS! you are seriously tempting me to do a fractal spin, but i have to get through a couple fleeces worth of fiber first.
You are so right about the bobbin capacity! 💜🧶🐑😊
This is a great video! The roving collection for the end of the year is such a great idea, im totally going to do it. I wanted to spin a gradient from a couple braids and wasnt sure how to do it, so this helped so much. Thank you
Thank you Evie, this was very educational, I really didn't understand what a "fractal" yarn was, great explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Project idea: entrelac scarf!!
😲😲😲😲🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 That could be amazing!
What is that?
@@rachelkeller6378 th-cam.com/video/B4GGXzurphk/w-d-xo.html. It's a knitting method of decreasing and picking up stitches to create a sort of woven look. It works great for variegated yarns because the structure shows off the colour changes very dramatically. The link above is what I used to learn how to knit entrelac, if you have an interest
Wow!!!!
Oh my I’m jealous. You got your e-spinner. I’ve been waiting or going on 4 months. Yes, I’m impatient. The yarn is beautiful 😻.
I completely lucked out because my LYS had one in stock!
Beautiful colors! Make a Shaw.
A shawl would be lovely!
Your hair looks awesome btw. I mean the yarn is incredible too, but also your hair. I'm a knitter and love watching you spin and create yarn, because it's such a mystery to me. However, the knitter inside me is like I NEED TO SEE IT AS A FABRIC. This feels like the biggest cliffhanger because the yarn looks so so good, but what sort of fabric will it make???
Congratulations on your new ashford espinner3. The yarn is beautiful. May you make whatever makes your heart sing.
Have you made anything with this yet?? It is GORGEOUS!!
I need to! I keep looking at it! Any suggestions?
Maybe a shawl or a scarf
Just found you, just subscribed and wondering what did you do with that "amazing" yarn! Thank you for helping me figure out what to do with beautiful braid of my own.
BEAUTIFUL!!!🌷💖🌷ОЧЕНЬ КРАСИВО СО ВКУСОМ!!!🌷💖🌷
👍👍👍😀
You must love your e-spinner! Your yarn looks so beautiful and having both bobbins end at the same time is your specialty lol. How many hours did it take you to spin up all the singles?
I really need to start tracking my time. I homeschool my kids and read while I spin and before I know it, my bobbins are full!
Evie it's so gorgeous! Do you ever do 3 or 4 ply? I want to make sock yarn & I'm told 4 ply is best for durability. That would be some skinny singles wouldn't it? I'm very new to spinning but I want to make what I like to use most ... fingerings sock or lace weights. Maybe I need lessons?
Yes, those are very skinny singles! If you want more tutorials and/or lessons and access to a monthly Zoom call check out my Patreon. Http://www.patreon.com/jillianeve
Thanks for your great channel. I tried to do the fractal spinning and 2 of the thinner lengths spun up evenly but the thicker one was much longer and didn’t get the color repeats before I ran out of the thinner ones when plying. Any suggestions? Keep up the great work!
What did you end up using this yarn for? I would love to see how it looks knitted up!
That E-spinner is interesting😍 Why did you go from the antiques to the ultra modern⁉️🤔
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
I have a lot of physical issues especially in my knee, hips, lower back, and neck. Spring time is usually pretty painful as the weather changes. This way I can keep spinning! I'm not quitting my spindles or treadle wheels. I'm just growing the flock. 😊🐑💜🧶
Hi Evie! Hope you are having a great day/ night. Just wondering, is a spinning wheel better than a spindle ( in terms of yarn consistency) ? I am just a beginner, and i understand consistency is something that can be achieved through constant practice. But I can't help but feel a bit disappointed with my yarns. They tend to be too thin or thick in some areas. As well as some breakage.
Thank you so much! Have a lovely weekend! 😊
It's a common question! I think the key tends to be practice, but preference matters too. If you enjoy the tools you spin with you tend to spend more time doing it which leads to more practice. 💜🧶🐑😊
i want to buy that color but not wool though
