Carder Waste Project Done
The waste locks which the drum carder spit out have been hand-carded, spun, and knit. Swatch on blocking frame, below, appears interesting enough to continue spinning until there is enough for a sweater.
A sampling of locks used for the project -- mostly Scottish Blackface
