Sassy Cat Crochet

Hello! This is going to be a very different style of post than I usually make. I’ve been wanting to show some more demonstration videos in the coming weeks, and I thought what better place to start than my new tools. Before you start watching, there are a couple things to know first that will hopefully shed some light on this process. To start, I already placed 3 thin layers on the blending board before recording, that way it would be easier to see the process. Next, in these 4 videos I’m working on the 4th and final thin layer. It is typical to repeat steps 1 and 2 in the videos between 3-6 times to build rolags or batts. Just depends on how much fiber you want to use. All of the layers are worked thin to trap the most amount of air. This makes drafting/pulling the fiber easier. Overall, this process took me 30 mins to fill the whole board and take off the fiber. For one layer, it takes about 2-5 mins. Getting the fiber off of the board is the longest part. Finally, a general thing to note is that this type of fiber prep is called “woolen” prep. There are two broad categories of fiber preparation. Woolen prep and combed top prep. All you need to know is that the only fiber preparation style I will show on this page that’s not pre purchased, is woolen prep. I will not be owning wool combs without some major convincing and a good old tetanus shot haha. Well, I think that’s everything to know before watching. I hope you all enjoy! :)
