Merrily We Card Along

Or, sort of merrily. The carding is fun. And, unless I’m doing something drastically wrong, it’s very easy.

Freshly Carded Wool

Freshly Carded Wool


The hard part comes when I try to spin what I’ve carded. I haven’t learned how to spin from a batt, and the “rolag” that some tutorials have you make from the carded wool is very close to a batt. I wonder if you’re supposed to unroll it later. Hmm. Anyway, I’ve taken to leaving the carded rectangle flat, then removing chunks of fluffiness in three to four inch sections.
