My first fractal yarn and my first sock spin! This is a Superwash Merino-Nylon blend from That Fiber Bish. There's 411 yards of the large 4-2-1 fractal skein, 104yds of the 4-2-2 fractal, and 29 yards of some very shoddy chain-ply.
For fractal yarn, you split the roving into varying amounts to get varied color changes through the yarn. In this case, the 4-2-1 is three ply, so you divide the roving into thirds. The '1' is just one of those thirds. The '2' means you split one of the thirds in half and spun end-to-end. And the '4' implies you split the remaining third into quarters, and spun those four back-to-back-to-back. Color changing variety!
