Drum Carding an Art Batt




Today we are carding beautiful Art Batts! This tutorial goes takes you through the basics of carding an Art Batt! Today Marie demonstrates how to make a fun gradient effect on an Art Batt using some of our fairy favorite colors! We are working with 19.5-micron Merino Top and embellishment fibers on our Fancy Kitty Motorized "Little Tom" Drum Carder.

The same principles taught in this tutorial can be applied to Manual Drum Carders as well. Marie shows multiple methods for feeding fibers onto the Drum Carder, and gives insight and tips on how to get the best results for your custom Carded Art Batts. We are so excited to carry Fancy Kitty Drum Carders from She & I Designs.

There are various configuration options you can choose for your drum carder, including the drum size, TPI (teeth per inch) and motorization options.

These fabulous Drum Carders are made in the USA and are the very same Drum Carders used in the Living Felt studio! Create your own custom art batts or roving from wool and various other fibers to use in you felting or spinning! Check out this Unboxing video where we open a Fancy Kitty Wide Manual Drum Carder and show you what comes along with it:
