Tools of my Craft...

For Spinning:

My Lendrum double-treadle wheel.  It serves all my purposes so far,
being able to spin super-bulky and novelty yarns, as well as more
 "reasonable" weights, and even lace-fine cashmere.

Drum Carder

Before spinning, the fiber must be prepared.  I often use prepared rovings,
 especially when dyeing before spinning, but for blending fibers and colors,
 a good drum carder can't be beat.  I studied all the available carders,
 and decided to buy what most people recommended as the best - a Patrick Green carder,
 to which I added a PG electric motor and a Duncan drum brush.

Crockpot

A crockpot?  Sure!  Easiest way to get great color combos
in small batches.  This is where you get to experiment with
a minimum of hands-on work.  The colors work like magic,
especially when rainbow dyeing.  For a demonstration of how it works
and what you can expect to get, go to the Crockpot Demo.
