Art Batt

21/12/2015

 
Got all this fluff and stuff, and have decided to make an art batt from it.  For Christmas I am getting an Ashford Country Spinner 2, so am making batts ready to make big yarn.

I have the Ashford drum carder with standard carding cloth.  It is amazing what you can get on there.  I like the idea of the wider teeth on the drums made specifically for arty batts, but have not had any issues with making a batt on here, so not necessary.  I feed in little and often and put some of the airy stuff straight onto the drum, or at least sandwiched between fleece so that it doesn't float off.  Sparkley yarn is trimmed to little bits and sandwiched, or it just comes straight off on to the feed drum.
This is the resulting batt.  It weighs 85g, so pretty pleased with that.  Roll on Friday!  Not sure yet which art yarn technique I will use, but can't wait to give it a go.

I have lots of other posts planned, but if I don't get round to another one before Christmas, may I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas, and peaceful 2016.
