I love to card fiber! I love to dye fiber! Put it together and you come up with some wonderful batts ready to spin.
The above batt was dyed with Kool-aid Ghoul Aid and blended on the drum carder with some Angelina fibers. The fiber is from a tunis sheep called Lucy. My husband bought the fleece at the Smokey Mountain Fiber Festival in Townsend.
The batt below was also dyed with Kool-Aid Blueberry & Cherry. The fiber is merino.
I had spun some Brown Sheep gray roving, then knitted and wet felted the pods below. Then needlefelted some white Wensleydale locks randomly around the top. They are freestanding with no support. I love them!
