First successful batt

I used my birthday present to myself, Strauch Petite drum carder bought from Morgaine at Carolina Homespun, to card up some naturally-dyed polwarth locks from Kristine at A Verb for Keeping Warm in golds, oranges, and pinks.

While the teasing process was a little tedius, the resulting batts were well worth the effort. All the colors blended naturally into a tequila-sunrise sort of blend, with the fibers blending into a fluffy, airy batt. I'll probably card this again with some of Kristine's naturally-dyed yak for a larger volume with more warming properties.
