I want to try carding, but understand it is more difficult than most to do well. We'll see...

Not the best for beginners but very versatile to play with and refreshing after the very predictable corriedale it seems that every one starts with.rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959771378150730129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-62078780685540222872008-01-11T10:30:00.000-08:002008-01-11T10:30:00.000-08:00monkey, how'd you like the CVM?

I don't have any yet, but am looking forward to finding some and trying it.<BR/><BR/>hi mary!! thanks for the feedback. i have read that cormo is difficult to process w/o getting neppy, but you can see by the styles of yarn i prefer making that isn't such a big turn-off for me. ;) i just thought it would be fun to try and see what comes out the other side.velmalikevelvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882058790803620655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-81739278562487560332008-01-10T10:14:00.000-08:002008-01-10T10:14:00.000-08:00I'm so glad you like the cormo!

It's a wonderful wool to work with - lots of possibilities. <BR/><BR/>I don't know if you want to card it, unless you do so very gently, as you might end up with lots of neps (as with any fine wool.) You might try flicking it instead. JMHO, of course ;-)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689211448917360129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116691.post-4024238723327272612008-01-09T13:05:00.000-08:002008-01-09T13:05:00.000-08:00That is an interesting thread.

I have yet to try Cormo, but I'm trying to try new things, I got some CVM at guild thing it is nice, and I'm eying my moms 10lbd Rambouillet fleece. But the Cormos sounds fun, and so does that big bag O stuff. :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
