Introduction to the Clemes & Clemes Blending Board, Part 1

The Clemes & Clemes Blending Board is designed for preparing fiber for woolen spinning. Not a replacement for a drum carder, this newly designed fiber prep tool helps create unlimited possibilities for yarn design.

Yes, they are like punis. But you can also make larger rolags. Stay tuned for more videos in January.

Though there is some cross over in use, the drum carder is suppose to straighten the fiber. After the batt comes off the drum carder you can make rolags but that is not the original intent. The blending board is intensionally made to mix fibers up on and produce rolags for woolen spinning. There are many things you can do on a blending board that you cannot do on a drum carder. You can card much more volume in a short amount of time on a drum carder than on a blending board.

I just got my Spin Off and went crazy when I saw this! I wonder how much it would be to send a carding board to Norway? I love blending color and fiber, do own several pairs of carders and a carding machine, all in use. I love the ability to be mobile and use this simple but beautiful item!

Very interesting...isn't this much like making punis except these are wool? Very creative technique.

Why can't this be used as a replacement for a drum carder? I'm a bit new to this and genuinely curious. It seems like they both do about the same thing.
