Description
On this course you will learn how to card fleece to produce rolags and batts, and also combed tops, ready for spinning or wet felt making. Once the basic principles have been mastered, we will look at how to blend different colours and fibres. Then we will look at how to produce multicoloured batts on a hackle and a blending board. At the end of the course, anything that you have produced is yours to take home with you. There will also be an opportunity to purchase a drop spindle spinning kit for £5. For people who would like to learn to dye their batts, rolags or tops, we offer a Wool Dyeing course and also a spinning course for beginners on both a drop spindle and a spinning wheel.
