<< what is your
"technique of layered batts??">>
I guess that'll be the topic of the next article I post :)
It's just carding colors separately, then in the final carding, do
layers of color on the drum carder. A layer of magenta, a layer of
yellow, a layer of orange, a layer of purple, for example. If you have
4 colors in the layers, use 1/4 batt for each color, and you've got a
new batt the size of the old ones.
Then pull strips off, predraft a little, and spin! Watching the colors
melt into each other is mesmerizing. Plying and knitting, or leaving
them as singles and weaving, is fabulous.
Spinning layered batts is such fun :) I rarely do anything else
anymore.
