These are unique hand carded batts, made by me here in the studio with my carding machine. These are made to your Colour and Blend specification.
Each batt has a Merino base with a 5 % 'other fibre' blend, but you can choose;
- up to 3 colours of Merino
- a choice of several haze options, including; silk, bamboo, sparkle...
Blended batts like this are great for feltmaking, spinning or weaving and can be used in different ways each time to create a multitude of blend options in your yarns, weft weaves or felted art.
Each batt is a predetermined length and take approximately 20-30 minutes to create, so you will need to blend as you work with 2 batches of batts. However, a batt is very versatile and can be gently eased into longer and wider dimensions. You will also find that no two batts are ever the same, as each is handmade it is very hard to exact a look as the fibres are pulled onto the carder.
