That's the same hank from last post. Winding it on the swift in spiral lets you see the color bands: orange, green and yellow.
Which made me think I should probably do the same with my first two hanks. Even if they are not self-striping, the colors show better:
And here's the latest self-striping hank I've spun, with bands in pink, orange, yellow and purple:
I'm still getting color overlap in some regions, but I'm improving. Also, the yarn is coming out less slubby.
I've received a few interesting suggestions about what to knit with these hanks. The contest is open until Sunday, so go ahead and suggest something. I'll send the winner any hank he or she chooses.
