I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I love my drum carder and I'm pretty hard on everything I use so I figured I'd better learn how to make all the adjustments lol.

Welcome! I think the cats are the actual stars of the channel lol.

Thanks for watching. I'm so glad you find me entertaining.

I have to get one. With my lack of coordination it's almost a necessity.

I don't even remember doing that in this video lol. It's a great trick though.

@@bffiberarts It's certainly something I will remember. I have been reading and watching KZfaqs for days, waiting for my drum carder, and I am so glad I finally "ran into" your KZfaq podcast.

@@Bobbieliz welcome! Things sometimes get crazy but we have fun.

@suefisher5531 either way will work. If you're trying to keep it organized more like a top than a roving, then just make sure you feed them on the same way everytime and note how they align as you take the batt off so you keep feeding it in the same direction. It'll work better if you open up the locks a bit before you feed them on and usually starting at the cut end will work better but try both and see what works for you.

@@bffiberarts thank you so much It’s all a learning curve I’ll give it a go 🥰

I've never used a louet but I'd reach out to customer service and see if they have any suggestions for what might be going on.

It's beautiful all though this fleece leans more towards the Romney.

@@bffiberarts Romney is beautiful too though x

I'm not disappointed at all. I love all wools for different reasons which is why the variety we can get is so amazing.

@@bffiberarts I totally agree x

I can do a video on that in the future! Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes exactly. Just be careful with fine fibers because the picker can tear them apart and you'll have nepps in your batts.

.... only four? I have a lot more. I need to get my butt in gear lol.

@@bffiberarts i saw your fleece haul(s) last year. mine was not nearly as insane. i've already spun up a couple of them, and i have a couple more carded and ready to go, plus the four waiting to be carded. 'twould seem that i was consoling myself with wool in 2020. pretty certain i was not alone in that.

I'm with ya. We need to amuse ourselves.

It's ridiculous. I'll sit there and pick every little bit off lol.

@@bffiberarts yep me too hahah x

I love brother though too be fair I haven't ever used anything else.

@@bffiberarts I'm not even sure what mine is I got it second hand xx

As long as it works it doesn't matter.

They're not short or second cuts. Locks of fiber are staples. Same thing, different word.

@@bffiberarts I've owned 3000 sheep & at shearing time locks are under the skirting table & sold in bales as short lengths. Fleeces that are made up of staples, are classed separately.

@rosertaylor6139 perhaps you're in a different country and that's how it works there, but on my channel we do not get hung up on terms that are used differently. If you find that distressing then perhaps this isn't the channel for you.
