Handcards are not just for preparing fleece! In this workshop you will use carders to blend fibers, rejuvenate tired roving, play with color and texture and create gradient "fauxlags". A great way to get more from your stash! Learn great ways to combine fiber and how to get repeatable results. All your sampling will go home with you to spin.
Prerequisites: Some handcarding experience is helpful but not required, but all levels are welcome.
