Wool Carding Has To Be Done Properly Or It Will Look Terrible

By Claudine Hodges


Often when one looks at a ball of yarn or wool, they are only assessing it on its aesthetic appeal. Never, upon the amount of work put in to end up in the form seen. Wool carding is one such process which after teasing aligns the fibers and is one step closer to achieving the end result. Even though it is an essential process, most do not even know what it entails.

Wool, cotton batting, yarn, felt and cotton are some of the by-products of this procedure which can either be done by machine or by hand. Understanding the methods implemented and how they work is the first step in perhaps creating your own very unique blend and outcome. It also increases the respect for the materials purchased to use in creating something new and equally unique.

Being able to hand craft items that people are in demand for, is a skill which might require talent and practice. Expertise only comes from experience and having a desired goal or outcome is essential. Whatever you choose to make, it should showcase the materials used to their full potential, as well as create something beautiful.

Each ball is uniquely appealing, with just the right texture for any project. The range is diverse and wide, almost confusing the eye and brain at first glance. There are some that might be fluffy with a softness that is unmatchable, while others may provide the rough texture desired for more rugged projects. Whatever the choice, there is always sure be one that suits the desired criteria.

Whether the method is mechanical or done by hand, the results are equally accommodating and manipulated further to achieve the correct resulting effect. Since crafting by hand these days, is a trend which is not only admired, it can prove highly profitable as well. Each process required to produce a ball of wool might actually become the hobby of one looking to create something truly special and unique.

Each talent regarding materials purchased in its end use is respected and revered for the creativity and skill that is used to create the stunning end product. Many people find crafts such as knitting, crocheting, spinning or card making (to mention a mere few) absolutely relaxing. Crafting in any form can be viewed as a type of recuperation from the day's busy and stressful schedules.

When the hobby becomes worthwhile and consistently grows to be able to support the artist, then the viability of the projects are well worth the costs of the materials used to create them. Profit obviously is carefully worked out taking the costs involved into careful consideration, and also by factoring in the amount of time needed to achieve the finished item. Selling each item might be profitable but the experience is rewarding beyond comprehension.

Christmas ornaments or serviette rings are another two examples of creative thinking while even jewelry has featured using this industrious material. The possibilities are endless, as long as the imagination is expanded and diversified. It is truly an exciting prospect when the manufacturers are also being creative in their range, which inspires the mind to create and enjoy every moment while doing so.
