Batting Time



Maile, Betsy, Dot, and Chris had a grand time in June playing with Chris' new large drum carder. Can you tell?! Since then, the batts have been flying! Chris is so generous with her new toy, and we all appreciate being able to move our raw fleece from fluffy fiber to beautiful batts, ready to spin into glorious and unique yarns. At our last meeting on July 11th, Lisa brought her awe-inspiring picker, and those of us with dense fleece watched the transformation with amazement. In one end went the locks and such, out the other side came the most delicate, airy clouds of spinnable fiber. Thank you to both women for rocking our fiber processing worlds!
