Are you new to spinning braids and unsure of what to do? This class focuses on the fun of mixing and blending painted braids with other colors and other braids.

We’ll explore how to choose colors that go together, what affects color in spinning, and how to avoid mud in your yarn.

You’ll learn how to mix and blend colors in the ply and draft, and how to choose the easiest fibers that work well together. We’ll look at a lot of swatches so we can examine more closely how the colors in each method look from fiber, to yarn, to cloth.

While you practice your mixing and blending, I’ll show you how to choose colors to turn up or turn down the brightness of a braid, the best way to stretch braids for projects. Finally, I show you how to sample to learn the most about spinning braids for color, and how to use those samples as shortcuts for your future braid spinning.
