I bought a wonderful drum carder - love to card my fibers. But as always that was not enough...lol! I wanted to make art yarns and the carder I have is just too fine a cloth for what I want to do. Then Spin Off magazine came out with a article about blending boards - light bulb when off!
Did some researching on Ravelry and a few other places and decided to make one. Found a very nice lady on Etsy that sold carding cloth and a very helpful lady on Ravelry that had blogged about making a board ( http://spinningshepherd.blogspot.com/ )
Here's what I made and my first rolags!
Next came the spinning. I plied it with rayon thread and it is ready to weave into a scarf on the cricket rigid heddle loom! Will blog a pic when it is done.
