I use my home made drum carder to create batts of merino wool to use in wall hangings.
It’s a great way of combining smaller amounts of varied shades of colours into a fibrous mass which can be laid down as it is, or, drafted into shingles of wool.
Here’s how I carded some bright primary colours for Katie and Lucy.










You can detect a sheen from the silk fibres within the merino wool.



Those are very nice batts. My husband bought me a drum carder which arrived today and I swear I could play with it for hours. 🙂
