Explaining your mistakes and showing the right way to do it clicked for me, thank you! I watched so many other tutorials but i didnt gey how to transfer the fibers from one brush to another until your video

[@MlleDollyDagger]

THANKyou for finally explaining that in a way that made sense! I watched several tutorials and was none the wiser, then I noticed you'd done one and thought "Sara will know how to explain it to me!". You did not let me down.

Glad to see you back in videos Sara. Your carders are beautiful. :)

Thank you so much for a very nice demonstration. A very good friend loaned me her carders to blend some white and black BFL/silk to make a grey I want for a cuff that I'll be wet felting then embellishing with mohair locks and curly and alpaca yarn. You have just gifted me with a lovely lesson!

I would love to go to your shop and participate in the courses that (i think) you make. I have just started doing needle felting and here in Chile there are just basic courses that thank to your videos are not useful at all for me. Thanks for all your videos, it is my only way to learn now :')

I have a lot of enthusiasm and not much equipment and not much funds so I used small carders that are dog combs.. works perfectly ... just tinier batches. same result though.

[@jinjarogers1711]

I've done the same! Works well 👍

[@patriciaherman9634]

Dog brushes work good for small amounts. However the wire teeth are not as sturdy and won't last as long

[@FilmerOfBobcats]

I've done the same with dog slicker brushes!

[@RavenSaint1]

Is there any smaller versions of the carders? Since I don't have much room and not going to use much for blending? I've been looking into using pet slicker brushes, but don't know if they would work similar fashion.

[@hmelonify]

I used dog combs as carders and it works a treat ... just tinier batches that is all. But way cheaper to purchase and easier to secure. Large Dog :)

I don't have need of carders this large, but I did find a small set...and I mean small, but perfect for blending small batches of colors. I can't remember where I got mine but it was a place that sold roving and tools for needle felting. So they are out there.

I love you videos!!! The pony ones made me realise where I was going wrong on my first ever project so now I add shapes rather than wrap the armature 😊 do you post to the UK? Xx

[@xladymaniacxyt3748]

Royal mail are a pain in my a** at the moment, I have been waiting for a parcel from china for what feels like FOREVER ! lol, I shall be having a look at your store as I want to try a kit rather than just doing my own thing for a change ;) I was getting so stressed when my wool kept slipping off the wire so its down to you that I brought a selection of pipe cleaners the other day :D X

[@lowlanchagwaya6717]
