Thanks to an awesome sale at Spunky Eclectic, I am now the proud owner of a Louet drum carder. I got the big one, but I had no idea it was quite so... BIG. I made 7 batts my first night! Not bad, eh?

I finally got to use that crappy Lorna's Laces roving I bought 2 years ago. Don't get me wrong, Lorna's Laces yarns are beautiful, but their roving is felted beyond what my hands can tolerate. My wrists were so sore from pre-drafting that I put it in a drawer where it has been for a very long time. I pulled it out, divided up the colors with a bit of overlap, added some sparkle, and made 5 color batts. I guess this is in keeping with my rainbow-theme lately. I feel so professional.

I did one batt blending wool with mohair and that was interesting. The static electricity made the carder have a giant mohair afro, but I got enough of it blended in there I think.  Anyway, here's a close-up of a couple of the Lorna's batts:
