Making rolags!
It's fun to see unexpected combinations of colours blended together to make attractive, spongy, sleek rolags. They are more like punis than the rolags we create on hand-carders.
I don't wind them too tight, so they are easy to draft, giving more options when spinning a yarn.
I have been making a lot recently to add to my sales stock for Fibre East.
We have made a few blending boards for friends and they all seem pleased with them.
I have found that I can use remnants of fibres from other projects on the blending board to make very passable/pleasing yarns and it gets the stash cleared out. Now I need time to spin and weave or knit them up!
