I received my package some time ago but had to put it aside because of all the other stuff happening "right now". Why did I ever agree to do this? There was some wool tops which looked and felt very compacted and some silk which was ever so lovely. What to do with it?
Have to aerate the tops so I decided to card it all as even a predraft felt rough to my skin.
Then the silk - I contemplated spinning it separately and the using it as an autowrap as I spun the wool. I sat on this thought for some weeks but nothing happened.
Decision time came today and I'm not feeling all that well so I've decided to simply card the two together in the hope that the silk will mask the (to my hands) the harsh feel of the wool. Hopefully, too, the wool will soften with a wash - sometimes I think that whatever the mills put into these tops to assist the machining really makes them feel awful. Photos of the process steps will be added after the date due in July
The photo collage I sent to my partner with a note on how the neck warmer was constructed. I never heard anything back so I don't know if she liked it or not. C'est La Vie.
