What's the Difference?

Knitting Blog editor was curious the difference between yarns spun from hand carded rolags and blending board rolags. She knew that hand cards actually blend the fibers and a blending board mixes rather than thoroughly blends fiber, but she wanted to know what the yarns look like side by side.

From Fiber to Fabulous - May Program

Following the May meeting, Sali A. demonstrated the process she completes to take wool from a processed fiber to a finished project. Sali dyes the wool, uses a blending board or a drum carder, prepares batts or rolls of fiber to spin into yarn. She often uses the yarn to make colorful crochet items.

Sali presented a similar program in March 2016. That post can be seen here.
