READY TO SHIP. A nice roomy blending board from Louet. It has 3-position keel, non-slip feet if you prefer to blend flat on a table (a handy, uncommon addition), dowels, & a large blending brush that’s great for gradations or really packing on the fiber. It’s made of beautiful, lacquered birch ply. Overall dimensions are roughly 12 inches wide, by 14 1/2 inches long at the handle side, by about 2 inches tall, including the feet. The keel is about 4 1/2" tall. Blending boards are a great tool for producing custom fiber batts with crazy layers of color & texture, without an expensive drum carder. Unlike hand cards, they don’t blend the colors back & forth, but instead let you apply all of your fibers in the desired layer & position, giving you complete control, making it an excellent tool for wet felting. But you can also use the brush to fade & blend colors. Besides making surprisingly beefy batts, you can also draft off several matching rolags in a batch, or even diz off roving. As portable as hand cards, but with a higher volume production potential. It’s completely portablejust pop it in your bag & take it anywhere. & I’ll throw in a bit of fiber to get you started! From Louet… With our blending board you can blend different types & colours of fibre & make rolags out of it. The board has a keel which can be fixed in three places so you have three different tilting positions. You can easily hold the board on your lap & work with it, because the keel can rotate.
