[@thelittlethingskate9567]

Oh my heck those are lovely together!

[@kristalburns3490]

Oh wow. I would have never put those two together. They compliment eachother nicely.

I cannot take credit because one of my sweet subscribers, and a fellow spinning friend said the blue would go good with a tan color in a comment. I found this in my stash and had to try. Thank you so much!

It looks beautiful, like beach grass, with sand and waves. Or something. But wonderful!

[@varun009]

Gorgeous. Even the plain gold melange was beautiful.

[@glendasmith7507]

Hi Rayne, I hope you're all OK xx 😘 💕 Wow, the Gold really did shine. The 2 Plied together looks Amazing and Beautiful. I actually like blue and brown together especially with a pair of jeans or a Denim Skirt.!!! I really appreciate you doing this Spinning Series. Learn something new each time. Thankyou so much for doing this. Happy Spinning. Hope you have a Great Week. Take care and stay safe Lots of love Jen 💘 xx 🐏🐏💕❣💕 I'm glad that you showed the silk fibres acting differently. I have been spinning some Rolags and they have silk in them, been hard to draft out sometimes. I really love the Nano 6 just as much as the Nano 1.1. !!!!

Aww thank you Jen. We have been doing pretty good! This yarn really impressed me for sure. I am so glad you have learned from my content! My favorite way to learn has always been to hop on KZbin, but when I got into fiber and spinning, I found the videos were either all very old content or not very informative, so I decided to start my own channel to make fresh new content for our amazing fiber community. I am so glad your rolag spinning is going well and that the wheel is working well for you! So good to hear from you! I hope you have a wonderful week as well and take care! Much love and big hugs -Rayne 💜🥰🐑🐑 (finally found the sheep emoji! 🤣)

[@shaundaflips2482]

Wow. I loved when you moved the lighting around to show the sheen! It really popped there. I'm surprised the finished yarn is so blue. Very beautiful. I have not spun any silk yet. It looks dreamy!!

[@RayneFiberArts]

Thank you so much! It is quite a fiber for sure, it can be a bit of a pain sometimes, but it is worth it for that shine and drape!

[@phoebebaker1575]

You’re a great teacher, you make beautiful things, and you have a nice way about you. I look forward to more videos!

[@RayneFiberArts]

Thank you so much! Phoebe I have to give you credit for this! Your suggestion is how this yarn was made; I otherwise would have used a different fiber for the ply. So, thank you again you have a wonderful eye for color combos for sure!

[@CrazyMountain_Fiberworks]

Pretty 😍

[@RayneFiberArts]

Thank you!

[@rajalakshmiswaminathan213]

Very helpful to see the thickness of the singles upclose. Thanks!

[@RayneFiberArts]

You are very welcome!

[@merrickelsner5520]

You are such a good spinner! I’m just starting out but I hope to be able to spin as good as you someday! Thanks for the videos!

[@RayneFiberArts]

Oh, thank you so so much! I can get it decently consistent but have a lot more I want to learn! I believe the key is to challenge yourself and just jump right in and go for it no matter if you are nervous or not, and to always stay open to learn more. That is my philosophy lol! You are very welcome, I am so glad you like the content, Happy spinning and keep practicing!

[@chocol8cutie]

Loved this video, thank you! I watched this last night and went to Paradise Fibers today and purchased the Linx. Can’t wait to start working with it soon.

[@RayneFiberArts]

So happy to have helped!

[@gerryivkovich1857]

Beautiful yarn! Are you pleased with your Ashford e-spinner? I would like to get an e-spinner in the the near future. Blessings.

[@RayneFiberArts]

I am very pleased with it. It is a wonderful tool to create yarn. The only thing about it I don't like is that it uses electricity. I am on the hunt for a solar powered battery pack to solve that in case of a power outage. But I definitely recommend it!
