Fiber Blenders… what are they?

In the article 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 do 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 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.
