#fiber batt

[levavi-oculos]

From fluff to batt! My first time working with Angora rabbit fiber, and it is so exceptionally soft! I can’t wait to run this batt through the drum carder a couple more times and pull some sweet sweet rolags. Still prepping for the upcoming Tour de Fleece!

Next step on the Chihuly corespun! Modeled on my lovely arm is the wire section. I did matching (hopefully) reps in the thread corespun. The base batt was my template for some carding of mini-batts. It was an accident that I ended up with it at all so I tweaked the colors a little in what I used. I need to set it (forgot how wild single-ply can get and it is probably overtwisted) but it’s actually complete!

I got a drum carder for Christmas and I've been busy making so many blended batts ⚪️💙⚫️

This little spinning fiber batt is hand-dyed corriedale wool in green and blue, red superwash merino, and lincoln locks in yellow! It is very soft! Take a look!

Today, a seven or so list

• Woke with the WORST headache. Wolf went & picked up the kids while I got dressed, took supplements & ibuprofen and tried to feel human.

• BONUS: However my blood pressure was in the normal range this morning (129/83). This is good news.

• Went to Publix for some supplements I still needed, flax seed oil, and yogurt. Came home & cleaned out our vitamin basket & threw out everything out of date.

• Took 2 Goody’s powders and that finally kicked the headache. Though by now I can tell that it’s my kidneys raising hell again.

• Wolf has been working on replacing the rear disc brakes & rotors on my car today. The car is not being cooperative at all.

• I’ve finished cutting & hanging the drywall in my tattoo room, all but 2 pieces. Yes by myself.

• Di sold a fiber-batt-of-the-month 3 month club in her Etsy shop last night so she’s carding a lovely fluffy batt today

• I don’t know what I’m making for dinner but I do know I’ve almost used up my day’s quota of energy.

Still deciding if i should ply this with a green merino or not. I have some olive and some apple green merino that would look good. But I also like the idea of a lovely spun single.

This is spun from a gorgeous mixed fiber batt that I bought at least a year ago in Minnesota. (Who says that family trips aren't a great time to find fiber?)

As this has been sitting on the bobbins for at least six months maybe more, i really should get on with it.
