Comment on Red fox yarn tail by Ibbins
Wow, this is GORGEOUS.
How did you get the gradation working there? I've tried something similar with an gift tail, but it didn't quite turn out like I wanted, being more patchy than gradiated. Any pointers for an amateur?

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I've seen brushes specifically designed to separate and then re-merge fibers like yarn back together. I would imagine that's what they have here
The tool is at almost any craft store and they're cheap... I think under $10?
Don't quote me, but I believe so. ^,...^

I'll have to look around and see if that's actually a thing. If it is, I'll definitely give it a go, I have a couple tails I've been wanting to make that I've been sitting on for fear of utterly ruining them with a lack of tools and experience. 
Well, if you can't find the tool I can definitely get one for you if you want.
Is there a specific brand name, or any other reference I can refer to? It's hard to find something you don't even know the name of.
Yes! Try this... took me a while to find it, but this is one of the tools here: www.joann.com/fiber-blender-to…|dc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+Needle+Arts&CS_003=10131488&CS_010=%5BProductId%5D&gclid=CjwKEAiA_4emBRCxi8_f2cWWjFcSJAB-v1qyYaVA58fR0epWTm5RMgS2S5eEFz1drSo7fgfXM89gLxoC1qHw_wcB
Oh! Carding tools!
I think those are more for felting purposes, but I can see how it woul work to help blend different fibers together.
