I've put my name down for the 'blending for spinning and felting' class Very Happy

There are several other CLASSES, In the past year I've done the drop spindle spinning, felted bag, Space dyeing sock yarn Very Happy

All were great fun and well I learnt a few things as well Very Happy

I had brilliant fun today learning to use hand carders to blend colours

Blend fibres, here I've used Merino and Silk Very Happy

Finally we weighed ourselves 200g in whatever colours/fibres we desired and used drum carders, I used a maual one for blending orange, blue and red Very Happy

And of course I had to buy 100g baby camel and silk Shocked

It's really soft Very Happy

I absolutely agree with Janice.
Twistfibrecraft are wonderful. Lovely people and great teaching.
And the photos have made me want to get my carders out again.
