…..in terms of inspiration I am at my apex. Everything I see can be translated and blended on the drum carder. Things I would have never thought possible before…..For example, please enjoy this photo of my cat.

She is the most amazing colours. Brown, grey, caramel, cream, taupe…a little bit of everything. She is beautifully blended…..

Something like this…..I added a bit of glitz (just for personality).. I am thrilled with the outcome and it spun up like a dream into this.. I started thinking willow branches, then pussy willows

This is plied with Kid Silk Haze and the pussy willows are felted merino. Time stopped for me today as it all fell into place.

I feel like I already made my money back on the drum carder. Being able to translate colour so delicately is something new for me, but something I’m meant to do. If you are interested in the yarn, or the hat, please let me know. I would be thrilled for the excuse to make them both again.
