Watch Me Blend Batts on a Drum Carder

Watch me blend some batts on my drum carder

My next live fiber sale is in just a few days! I’ve been busy making all sorts of batts. Today I made a few Halloween themed batts, all naturally dyed of course. I’ve got these amazing Corriedale fleeces that I’ve been scouring and dyeing over the last several months. They are super soft and squishy and take up color so well. Check out the video below!

I’m a vendor at WAFA (Wool and Fiber Arts.) If you’re looking for a community of fiber artists who are supportive and kind, and especially if you are interested in gorgeous fibers grown by small farms, you have to check out WAFA! Join us on Facebook here!

Follow me on Facebook to catch my live sale!

Visit my shop if you prefer making your fiber purchases that way!

Enjoy this video I recorded while prepping for my WAFA sale, which is on Saturday at 5pm central time!
