| As I prepare for Festival season, I was looking upon the fiber stash and had green in mind, thinking Spring. I pulled out some mohair from our girls that was really dirty. I washed it a few times but it still had some vegetable matter in it. I tried the hand carders (pictured) but it was daunting. While dyeing it, it matted somewhat and was hard to do by hand. |
 |
| I pulled out the big guns, the Drum Carder. I dyed the mohair lots of different shades of green so it needed some blending too. |
 |
| Feeding the mohair into the bottom makes it easy to turn. My bucket list is an electric one! It gets rough on the arms turning. |
 |
| It provided me with a nice blend of colors which will spin up nice. |
 |
| Removing it off the carder is easy with this nifty tool |
 |
| There it is! A beautiful batt, blended and ready to spin. |
 |
| So now, I sit down with a cup of tea, my blended mohair and some evening TV by the fire. This is called life! |
