I got the raw dyed lint and gently put it on my blending board. I then got my cotton hand cards and gently transferred my cotton from the blending board to the cotton cards. I made fluffy punies with my cotton cards and put in a pile.
From there, I got my cotton cards and and went back to the blending board and got more lint my cotton cards and did the procedure in the first step.
My last step was to take the left over cotton on the blending board and make a rolag. After the rolag was made, I got my cotton cards and fluffed up that rolag.
NOW back to the Blending board and no more use of cotton cards.
I got my fluffy cotton gently put it on the blending board for layer one. I got the blending Board flicker card and carded it in the blending board. Once the board had that light layer, I go my Dye-Lishus® - Sliver Cotton roving and put bits Colbolt blue and spread on the board. I got the blending Board flicker card and carded it in the blending board. Then I repeated step 2. Once this was done. I made my rolag.
I wanted the rolag to be more like a cotton puni so I gently rolled the rolag onto the blending board till I got the puni I was pleased with.
I dyed many cotton bolls, ginned them, then used the board. Ohhhh my what a pleasant surprise. I had a beautiful roll of fluff that spins up beautifully. I used to own a drum carder and there was no way I could do any of this with this magical board.
So the moral of the story is: your blending board can used in so many different ways with cotton to prep for your spinning pleasure.
3/18: I now own an e-spinner. She is doing a wonderful job plying my yarn.
3/20: Plyed, washed, hung to dry. I was amazed that the cotton that was unscorned still held its color. 400 yards awaiting the loom
