My first two skeins of fractal-spun yarn turned out better than I'd expected, so I moved on to Experiment #2. It is now ready to be turned into a three-ply yarn (the last bobbin needs to rest for 24 hours). It was harder to control the colours, but I have only myself to blame for that. I should have read the description of the fiber more carefully, but when you search a fiber supplier's website for "top," you expect to be shown preparations with the wool aligned lengthwise, not roving, in which the fibers are hodgepodged. Yep, it was roving, not top. I prefer spinning worsted over woollen with the exception of when I'm spinning specifically for a nålbinding project. That's where this will wind up...something to do this winter. As for whether it will be adequately fractal when it's finished, well, we'll just have to wait and see. Chalk up one more on the side of "not going to buy this again."
