This all started back in December when I started playing around with some Cinnabar Merino and some Superfine White Merino. I wanted to card up something that would be kind of Valentine's Day
So I began placing strips of red and white in my drum carder and would card it together. It came out looking like this. I think I ended up carding 4 batts, whi
ch I spun up on my drop spindle.

This is my "Irish Spring Delight". Now with my drop spindle empty of the "My Hearts Delight" yarn I have started spinning up some of the "Irish Spring Delight". This is yarn is turning out nicely
too, just like the previous batt did.
too, just like the previous batt did.Now that I'm spinning up my "Irish Spring Delight", I wanted to card up some new batts as well, to add to my Etsy shop and onto my http://www.spinningginny.com/ website. So I carded up some more of the "My Hearts Delight", "Irish Spring Delight". Then I started playing around with more fibers and came up with 3 other batts.
These batts are "Ribbon Delight"(top picture) "Garden Delight" (middle picture) and "Springtime Medley" (bottom Picture)
Right now I have 2 batts of each listed on Etsy and on my website as well. I will be carding up more of these batts. Its just too much fun blending different colors together.
