Get the most from your blending board!
As more and more spinners delve into fiber preparation for intentional spinning, the blending board has become more popular than ever before. It’s space efficient, lightweight, and far less costly than investing in expensive blending tools and machinery. While most spinners know that the blending board makes lovely rolags, few are aware of the many other ways it can be used in one’s fiber preparation practices.
In The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible, widely regarded spinning teacher and writer Deborah Held explains the many ways to use a blending board to its fullest capacity. Step by step, she reveals secrets for maximizing the board’s carding and blending properties, providing an as-yet untapped level of know-how for putting the blending board to use in color management, combining fibers and mix-ins, and for creating specific yarn structures in spinning along the woolen and worsted continuum. Beginners and advanced spinners alike will find plenty to learn from her beautiful and instructive photos of fiber, detailed explanations of techniques, and numerous blending “recipes.”
