Custom Carded Batts

 Meet Twit and Woo, created from my new custom wool batts. My newly acquired drum carder has been keeping me busy.
It is so exciting blending wools and colours to make your
own batts. Mixing various shades of browns, naturals a
little white, I get a lovely textured look for my owls,  I used
the firmness of a Jacob sheep wool, Parendale with the
soft and silkiness of Alpaca and Merino.  
 I also tried greys and whites. The results from  carding are so satisfying.
 I shall have some bagged up shortly to sell on line and in the gift shop, we are making little Woo at the next Workshop, it should be fun, I can't wait  to see all the different coloured little Woo's!
