How about some Thursday morning yum? Here you go:
Junky Batt
This is some of the thrums, scraps, bits & bobs, and leftovers that I’ve collected for nearly a year. Every time I get a bit of junky leftover fibre that I don’t want to try to incorporate into my spinning, I set it aside in a little strawberry container. The container was getting pretty full, so last week when our class drum carder was available, I carded the whole shebang into this little batt. I should do this more often.

Very creative, that’s a good idea.
That looks good enough to eat!
that is the cutest, sweetest little bundle of fiber. the colors are great.
Wow. That’s really cute - I love all the colors together.
Phenomenol idea!!! Thank you! I’ve been throwing all those scraps away, but I think I’ll start saving them. Only problem is I don’t have a drum carder. Oh well - I’ll figure that out when I have enough scraps.
What a wonderful idea! It looks great.
Stick two googly eyes on it to turn it into a wooly, technicolor sheepdog.
That is the cutest batt I have ever seen!
That looks delicious, and to think I have a whole entire laundry basket full of bits!
Can I eat it?
Never thought of doing that. I usually donate to the nest building birds. But now, if I drag the drum carder out from under it’s cave in the guest room (a.k.a. roving room) I could also incorporate cat fuzz balls, I mean feline down, at the same time!
I’ve been saving up my little bits in an old hatbox, waiting until I have enough to make a little batt. I love yours!
Love that idea, I’m gonna start up a scrap pile!
So pretty! Time to start being sure to save my scraps. Great idea.
Be careful that you don’t get mud when combining scraps - as I learned from personal experience! Have you considered sorting by color?
And btw, damn you for igniting PG (Supercard) lust into my dreams again. :p
You could end up making unique blends like Crosspatch Creations (which I just love but haven’t gotten around to buying yet). Congrats on getting the carder!
What a sweet little bundle! What will you make of it? It needs a noble destiny, after all that languishing.
How clever and cute! A good incentive to explore more colours, by the way…
You know, I’d also call that a fibre art craft, too! winks I thought you said NO MORE! LOL
That is too delicious! How are you going to be able to do more than just look at it and be proud of yourself? And very nice picture too.

Wonderful.
Love your weaving as well.
Wonderful. Love your weaving as well.
Cool! I have a baggie of wool clippings and snippings waiting for a felting project that needs a fleck or two of color added in. “Yum” is the word!
So fun! Will it become yarn eventually? Cause that will make some awesome yarn
so sweet! i love your little junky batt!
AH! Look at you go with your new carder! Best purchase ever. What a fantastic ball of tasty goodness. Wouldn’t it be nice if all mish-mash piles turned out the same?
That’s gorgeous! Tempts me to take up spinning….
Very pretty batts, and I guess I agree with your decision re drumcarder vs shoes. Re the cinnabar zephyr, you can get another 600 yards or so at http://www.maplecroft.ca/ - a Canadian distributor who sells retail. I realize it might be different dye lots, but the silk and wool is “tweedy” enough it might work.
i want to eat it too!
