Take some plain white BFL roving...

.. and add some colour..


Once dry, carefully put it through the drumcarder, feeding it in little by little..

..gently extract the little clouds of fluffiness..

.. and spin up the carded batt into yarn


How much fun was this!! Now all I have to do is knit it to see how it knits up.

Wow you are getting really good at this Skein Queen. Lovely colours, it looked more mottled prior to it being spun, just goes to show.
