Three Little Pigs

Posted on February 2, 2011 | 1 Comment

I made batts recently and traded them with Ballee for this book :)

LaceStyle

The batts were inspired by the story of the Three Little Pigs.
I started with three shades of pink from Ashford, two in Corriedale wool and one Merino.

Carded the wool into batts

Pulled the batts apart and carded them again, now adding some stuff after two layers.

The Little Pigs each built a house, and I added something to the batt to represent each of the building materials. The first one made a house of straw (Yellow BFL Locks), the second a house of sticks (pieces of handspun Alpaca) and the third made a house of bricks.

This is the end result: fluffy, pink batts.
