New Tutorial--Carding Striped Batts with My "Layers" Method
Friday, October 15, 2010 at 1:13PM Last week I promised a new tutorial, and here it is!
I was going to make one big tutorial about making the yarn I'm using for Hannah's vest, but as I was writing, I realized it really needed to be two different tutorials. One on making the batt and one on pulling the roving. So next week, it's all about pulling striped roving and spinning it up (a little trick here, too!). AND, you'll get to see the final yarn. I just may have the vest finished, but don't hold your breath!
I'm struggling to get my laundry caught up after a week and a half of no washer or dryer (tough with a family of 6!), and getting the whole house unpacked and set up. Busy, busy! Aren't we all!
Have a great Crafty Friday and Fiber Arts Friday!! Follow the links to a ring of artsy blogs!

I love this! I fell in love with drum carding (and spinning from batts) this year, but I don't have a drum carder of my own yet.
Very cool technique. I'm excited for next week.
I don't have a carder (yet). I want one... I really, really want one.
Looking forward to your tutorial. Personally, I love taking the roving and running it through the carder twice to get a beautiful mixed color.
That's really cool! I have decided I don't have the space or time for a carder, but that looks like fun.
Loving your tutorial!! What a great idea! I will try this as soon as I make it back into my studio. I can't wait to see the finished yarn!
