I received my new fiber blending board last week and finally had some time yesterday to experiment with it. For those of you who may not know a blending board is a piece of carding cloth with many, many "teeth" and it's used to blend different colours and fibres to make rolags which can then be spun into yarn.
I took my inspiration for my colour palette from a wonderful print that I recently purchased from Danny Phillips on Etsy...this picture just makes me smile!
So I went through my stash of fibre and came up with some wool roving, silk throwsters, and a novelty yarn that would match.
Below are a few pictures of how the blending board works and the yarn I'm spinning from the rolags.
