Fiber Blenders… what are they?

Mini Cards
Fiber Blenders
Drafting Angora from Fiber Blender

I wrote for the PLY Magazine, Issue 17, Summer 2017, Spinning A Variety of Fibers on a bobbin-led (single drive) spinning wheel. I referenced ‘fiber blenders’; they are like miniature hand cards. I’ve attached a couple of photos of these dynamic little tools. In my spinning bag, they have a permanent spot. I use them often to blend small amounts of luxury-type fibers. One example would be angora and silk. Or even to blend colors in delicate fibers. They are an excellent choice for spinning fly-away fibers right from the blender (mini card), which I explain in the article. Since the article has released, I’ve received inquires about what fiber blenders are. I wanted to make sure there was a visual available to help me understand what they look like and how I use them. They can be found online by searching for ‘fiber blenders.’ Most places with felting supplies carry them too. Please reach out to me if you have additional questions.
