Ready to take your handspun yarn to the next level? Enter the blending board, your secret weapon for creating unique and colorful fiber batts! This simple tool is a game-changer for fiber artists, allowing you to combine different fibers, colors, and textures with precision.
So, how does it work? Simply layer your chosen fibers onto the blending board's tines. Start with small amounts, gradually building up your desired color palette and fiber blend. Use a diz to gently draw the fibers off the board, creating a cohesive and beautiful batt ready for spinning.
Experiment with different fiber combinations! Try blending merino wool with silk for a luxurious sheen, or add a touch of sparkle with Angelina fibers. The possibilities are endless. The blending board allows you to create custom fiber preparations tailored to your specific spinning project, giving you complete control over your yarn's texture, color, and drape. So, ditch the pre-made batts and embrace the creative freedom of the blending board!
