My drum carder:
I did make a couple of batts; the first one was the run-through they suggest to get all the dust off the drum cloth, and looks like this:
The other one I haven't photographed yet. I need to head out to a wool store and pick up more locks to play with, but I also need to experiment with layering rovings and tops together to make smooth batts, too.
I'm hoping to find time during each week to make a batt or two. Once I get five or six made, I'll list them on Etsy and see how they go over. I'm very excited about having this carder. Now I can finish processing that alpaca fleece in a timely manner!
