Sarah I tried your method - Roving

I'll get some clearer photos tomorrow, but can I have some views purty pwease?

The first ones look a little flat, but the second 2 pics look good. TBH, it's all trial & error with the washing machine method (or I found that, anyway)

A palm roll after washing (whilst still damp) should "unflatten" the first ones.

Did you put them in the machine on their own (you get different results, if they're in with a few clothing items) Everyone's machine is different too, sometimes mine come out & don't even look like they've been through the machine

I split the roving into two, put them into the machine all together. then ripped them all apart when they came out (that's how the other colours got on there); palm rolled them, then into the machine for another couple of goes

I'll give it a whirl when I get some more rovings through

[MrsEss]

yeah, they can felt a little together in the machine. Palm roll before they go in but sometimes, it can't be helped.

I loved the effect, but I may braid them together for a final whirl in the machine Palmrolling them first Thank you for the tips - I'm getting there
