Fiber blending Hmmm? Well I'm not a spinner so I can't help there.But Fortissima does sell reinforcement nylon thread in colors to blend with their sock yarns for heels & toes. It comes in quite a few colors but I don't know if it would match what you're spinning, but it wouldn't be white. Could be worth checking out.

I would recommend buying some nylon thread in a color that closly matches your roving and then ply with that. You can also buy nylon yarn specifically made to hold along with your knitting socks for the toes and heels.

Is it the heels and toes that are wearing out? I thought I mentioned when we met for Edmonds Stitch N Bitch night that you can strand unwaxed dental floss in when you knit the heel and/or toe for reinforcement.
