Wool Combing for a marled Gradient in Handspinning by Suzy Brown

This is one of my tinyStudio TV episodes made for subscribers of tinyStudio Creative Life magazine (www.fiberygoodness.com). In this video I share how I organise my fiber for blending with the hand combs to create a pretty gradient effect that looks gorgeous knitted. This is a condensed version of the class I taught at Majacraft Camp New Zealand in 2022
Hand combs used - Majacraft Fine Combs (www.majacraft.co.nz)
Fiber: Merino silk blend from www.fibre2go.com

Ok i am obsessed with spinning art yarn now. Never done it before, just watching videos, also broke so gonna try and hand spin it with a home made hand spindle from leftover yarns and dog grooming brushes. I know you're all cringing like no tomorrow but it's all good, I have ADHD, this will be over soon :D I just wanna test out if I can somehow use up all the left over yarns I have so I can make less waste too! Anyways I love these vids and hopefully I'll hold my attention long enough to at least give it a go. Loads of love from Finland!

Just found your channel your work is so inspiring. I have been spinning for only about 3 months but am very serious about it and preparing my own fibers. I have a Rose, and now I'm thinking about getting the combs by Majacraft too. Hello from the US!!!

Hi Alison! Welcome to the world of fiber, it is endlessly inspiring :) You are starting with one of the best wheels ever, and I can highly recommend the combs too, mine travel everywhere with me, with them you will produce wonderful fairy fiber you will love! Have fun :)

Love the camera angles. Best video I have seen on wool combing. Explanations are superb! Love the flecked gradient…ty! Are these combs considered mini? When I go to the site, I don’t see where to add to a cart. I would really love to try spinning from the comb. I have small hands, so these look good for me. Many thanks.
