Marble Roving
I was trying to create a marble like effect with out using premade blended merino.
Mainly because some of the colours I ordered for my friends set vastly differed from the pictures so I figured if I made some of them marbled it would look better, this is what i have so far what do you think?

i think they look lovely, i've been using pre blended merino as well recently to make accent dreads and it works quite well for marbeling.

Does it produce a similar effect?mrs. mole wrote:i think they look lovely, i've been using pre blended merino as well recently to make accent dreads and it works quite well for marbeling.
That would be useful for future if it does
I figured I could use this method to maybe mix colours I couldn't find pre blended?

i've been using pre-blend and a little needle felting before wet felting to kind of 'fix' the colours where i want them (hope that makes sense).

Re: Marble Roving
They look nice but it is difficult to assess if you have created what YOU were looking for without any information as to what blends you were trying to achieve.
That aside I think they look fab!!

Re: Marble Roving

I think I achieved what I wanted, hard to know when you don't know
