Nicole Frost's video: How to take old semi-felted roving and create beautiful art batts

Most of us have fiber rolling around in our stash that has started to compact, felt, or pill. Maybe you don't love the colorway anymore or you're bored of spinning roving. Here's a great way to use a carder (or blending board, or hand cards, or Diz/hackle) to open the fibers back up, mix in some bamboo, silk, firestar and angelina, and breathe new life into your stash. Here's a great diy Diz and Hackle project made from fro picks and cheap parts from Home Depot! http://sheffieldalpacas.blogspot.com/2011/10/diy-hackle-and-diz.html?m=1 Bamboo is $11/pound from RH Lindsay Wool Co (the cheapest I've found anywhere). You can dye it with mx/DX dyes from Dharma Trading using soda ash as your mordant Firestar and angelina are readily found on Etsy, I get mine in bulk from Ashland Bay and Angelina from Camaj.
