Lluxurious Batts are hand dyed, hand carded spinning batts. They are all one of a kind and they can and will contain a wide variety of fibers. All have a wool base and contain some luxury fiber(s) including but not limited to: mohair, silk, bamboo, merino, llama, alpaca, and banana silk.
I am really excited about these batts. They are allowing me to delve more deeply into dyeing and fiber preparation. Some of the included fibers are hand washed and picked by me, some are commercial and only dyed by me. Some fibers are added undyed.
I'm starting to explore fiber reactive dyeing, new fibers (I am hooked on blending with banana silk, it's wonderful stuff!), new fiber prep...it's really a whole lot of fun!
Drum carding these batts allows me to explore my creativity a bit more freely than dyeing yarn or roving does. That is not to say that I will not be keeping up with dyeing my yarn and roving lines, just that the batts are a nice addition.
These batts are available now in my shop. More will be added soon.
As always custom orders are welcome!
