Thank you

Do you have an update on the spin?? 😊

[@nancalvert2468]

Do you sell your art batts by the ounce/gram?

[@thebluefibertree]

I do my art batts by the ounce. And my batts usually weigh in between 3 and 1/2 to 6 oz per batt. 🥰

[@thebluefibertree]

I actually got some of it spun up and need to finish the rest 🤦‍♀️ got a little distracted by first mandatory bill paying job lol I will comment and let you know when to look for it on the playlist😍

Is it possible to use with cotton???

[@thebluefibertree]

To be honest, I've never tried to use cotton on the drum carder! That's a very good question and I will do some research and see what I find out and get back to you!

[@martyide8089]

Why did you not feed it in with the licker in?

[@thebluefibertree]

I don't feed it into the licker because I have a lot more control over color placement and how the batt, in general, looks. I really like being able to control where things go and it's a little harder doing it the other way. I also feel like I can get more fiber onto the drum by doing it the way I do. Hope that helps 🥰
