To a hand spinner, the process of creating a beautiful fiber preparation can be just as joyful as spinning the yarn that results from that fiber. Schacht hand carders are great for making truly special fiber combinations for gorgeous yarns. Let’s bring out our hand carders and learn how to create three different rolags: tweed, gradient, and art. You can use these techniques to make your own unique rolags.
