A Little Experiment

So, I've had this idea brewing in my head since before my vacation. Gradient dye a strip of roving from dark to light, split it down the middle, then spin each half onto a bobbin and chain ply each one. Ending up with (hopefully) 2 hanks of yarn that go from light/dark. A fun thing to knit into socks or use them alternately in light/dark stripes - and I'm sure there are many other cool things you could do with fiber/yarn like that.

This is my little (2.5oz) test roving. I was shooting for a pretty teal I'd managed to get the other day when I was dying for the shop, but it is still kind of too green. No matter, the main effect was achieved, and now its just the spinning (and knitting to see how it actually pans out) that is left. Good fun!
