What do you get...
when you dye a small amount of roving.

The roving in the front. That you like but know it is not enough to really do anything with. Plus you have some batts you already carded that really are not doing it for you.

You run them both through the drum carder separately and then decide that maybe they would work together.

So I now have the carded together batts that total about 4oz that are full of texture and mohair locks and I plan to make a fun yarn. Something I have not done in a while. I mean most of my yarns are fun to me but this one will be more artsy then smooth and perfect. It makes me let go and go with the fiber rather then trying to make the fiber do what I want. I may even add in some more locks as I spin but we will see. For now I am thinking thick and thin single.

That's going to be cool! It's good to get experimental everyonce in a while. I find that when I do this, I usually learn something and have a new idea or technique to take back and apply to my normal knitting or art. :-)
