Turning Tons of Wool/Silk/Bamboo/Firestar/Angelina Into Beautiful Batts on a Drum Carder 

I could watch you make batts all day! They never turn out like expect. And they are already all gone from your shop!!!!

We all love you because you are the way you are. Who don’t, well.. they don’t. Don’t worry about it. There are at least 14.8K people that do.

The last one reminds me of a baby showers from the 80s! Love it…💐👶☔️🌸🌺💕💕💕

yeah, I'm one that loves the batt making. Creativity doesn't always have to be communicated in steps. Intuition is a mighty artist. I don't think people trust it enough.

Fantastic! The second batt immediately took me to the reef in Finding Nemo. The third instantly made me think of the Forest Fae at dawn.

The blues and oranges FTW 👌❤️

Oh that second batt with the blue/teal/oranges/golds-FAB!!!

Oh man the burnt orange on the teal is everything! So gorgeous 🤩🤩

I love Mr. Donkey. He so silly sometimes. Wahoo! Drum carder lesson!

You have such a generous spirit, I hate that people are being mean to you about content you share freely with us, just because you don't tell them exactly what they want to hear. You aren't teaching a course, you're inviting us in for a peek at your creative process. Please don't take their words to heart, keep being you!

Ooooh, that black and red though!! 😍 it screams vampire 🧛‍♀️🧛‍♂️

The last one- Unicorn Mane LOVE all of the batts. ❤

My granddaughter would love that last bat. It reminds me of cotton candy.

Donkey at the beginning had me laughing so hard!!!😂😂😂 I think I'm the same as you. You totally speak my language. I do like to watch and listen to the technical sides of all the things because I think it helps me understand what I like/why I do things the way I do but I don't consciously use it, I just do my thing. And I understand the dreaming of a certain space. There's a metal pole barn that was a car shop and then was turned into a gym that's now for sale near me that makes me dream of making it into a mill but I REALLY have no way to do that.

Ohmigoodness I would buy that orange and blue one if I could. That’s my favorite color combination. 🤩

Oh my goodness, these are so beautiful !!! You are right, watching batts be made is magic

Awesome batts! Yes, this is relaxing to watch. I totally agree with that statement. Every one of these bats are unique, and fun.

That green one! 💚💚💚💚 yep I love watching you make batts.

I could watch this all day. Thank you. 🧶🐑

I love the magic, my little pony batt 🎠 I guess you could call it carousel! I'm watching for it to pop up on your website. Well, they are all magic of course. You are truly an artist.

I’m so relaxed…. Going to dream of colours blending tonight.

Donkey Dude you’re so cute. 😊 Everything you make is beautiful! That second batt is swoon worthy 😍-Tami L.

Awww Donkey! My dogs will always try to steal the show 🐶 all your batts are beautiful. The green and whit is soothing and the last one makes my heart skip a beat! However, when you said Fantasia I was floored because that’s what I had thought before you even said anything 🤪

Dramatica red and black fabulous loved them all but red and black WOW .... sue

Love all of these batts! I’m not a fan of green either but that one is beautiful. The second one is my fave

Oh the blue green yellow orange with sparkle love love love it!

You really are an "intuitive" artist, all those Batts are gorgeous! 😊

that "green" one makes me think of a lagoon in the Phillipines that i've never been to, but should chill next to.

Love all the batts. I would love to purchase the second one. Call it rusted ocean.

I really love the way you do and explain things. you show what you do I get it. I now have an ESpinner [about a month] It's been great fun learning to spin and about wools ect I was inspired by your videos. Now I watch you working with fibers making fablous yarns and items. Your knitting is wonderful I just cannot do knitting. So I weave and crochet. a Always wanted to make something from fiber ti item. I judt did it a double hat all pure wool inside merino and outside corridale and falkland. My son is going to a very cold place where he will be wearing it. thank you for your inspiration Now to mixing and carding Sue

Intuitive artist. Love that. I am a writer and can’t explain where my ideas come from. It just is.

Thank you for sharing this. It is just what I needed. I appreciate watching an intuitive artist and the process.

I love watching you make batts. It is so relaxing. I only have a baby brother carder for now. I've been wanting a larger drum carder. You are very creative with the colorway choices you make and that really makes your creations beautiful.

I love watching you make batts!! I would love to see how they spin up. Shout out to the tribe to please post on face book 😊

Those were great!! The last one reminded me of sherbet ice cream … you are a magician!!

Those batts are beautiful! I wish I had a drum carder. I am also not a green person, but I love the green and white, and I thought at first it was like a beard, but not Gandalf's, perhaps Tree Beard!

I love the last one,so colourful. I use my drum carder a lot,I never know what I create.

from Gerry- Love the glitter- gotta have glitter! Love them all. Be blessed.

honestly, your sensibility inspires me and makes me feel better about trying things! thanks for all the videos!

Those batts are beautiful! The green one is my favourite

I so enjoy watching you!!! Life has gotten too busy!! Oooo We need to talk about a recent convo I had on that topic…. (Studio space). Miss you girly!!!❤

Thanks for this great carding video, Trish. I’ve been spinning a carded batt, in the garden today and I want to get my drum carder out! I appreciate you😊🙏

I really like the green and white batt. I’d call it Sea Foam.

Wow!! Your colour blending choices are very different to mine but I love your results. I might have to change mine up a bit next time. The black and red reminds me of the interior of an old-time "spooky" theatre. The green is like seafoam.

That's me. I'm intuitive. I can't explain anything. I can just show you, which is why I film what I'm doing xx

.The black and red batt looks like an Elvira, Queen of the Night,

love the copper green brown and gold!!!!

the greens, so beautiful. I hope you enjoy your weekend...

Omg i love Donkey's CAMEOs 😂

It's so hard in some parts of art to explain things I find. Color choice being one of them. However you do explain other technical things very well I find. i mean you did that whole spinning experiment series. I'd love to see you do a class.

Intuitive artist, love it, I so enjoy watching you be you. You are so talented, and I learn something new with every visit. I am hoping to get a blending board in a few weeks, and I am really looking forward to creating pretty and not mud

I am one of those people who thinks it's relaxing to watch fibers blended on a carder. that and watching someone spin art batts I could do all day. Love all of these so much! But the green one is awesome. And that last one with the pinks! What fun that would be to spin!

such fun to watch you blending fibers :)

This makes me want to upgrade my Classic drum carder to the biggest one. 🤣

Bah, I need to watch this. I can’t now but I can’t wait.

I thinks being an intuitive artist is a great way to put it, I wouldn’t have thought to say it that way. The way you talk about explaining stuff is exactly how I feel about talking with my husband about what I’m planning to knit/sew and how he can never picture it in his head like I can 😂

Such beautiful batts! It was a joy to watch you work!! That's so funny what you said about favorites because i was thinking the same thing as you were making them 😂😂😂 Names 1. Vava voom 2. Ocean sunset 3.spring... 4. Candy store

That looks like so much fun. You make it look so easy.

Every time you made a new batt, I thought this is my favorite one. I really liked the second one with the blue-green- copper. Names in order you made them: lava, horizon sunset, lagoon, little pony. It’s nice to have dreams and you never know how life will play out. I dream of having my own craft room, buying a floor loom with 4 or 8 shafts, a drum carter, a wheel and so on. I hope all of our dreams come true.

You are my people! I am very intuitive. I can’t explain because it’s a feeling. I know it’s weird, but when I pick out wool it has to speak to me. My aunt is the same way with her fabric.

I really enjoy seeing batts get worked up. I love the black and red, and the green was my favorite! The last one is giving me tropical breeze vibes. I’ll have to look at your previous videos to see how batts spin up (I’m never sure how yarn will look based on the batt it was made from)

WOW 🤩 Spectacular work ❤

Black and Red batt "Cruella"

He's feeling himself. Had to laugh at him peaking through the door. Hahahahaha

Lol , I say the voices in my head are telling me what to do. they are crazy 🤣

I could watch your batt making vids all day long! Gorgeous…she says as she runs to her carder and starts carding frantically with crazy inspiration!❤

the batts are so pretty

My goodness, even blurry that last batt (Unicorns & Fairies!) is super swoon worthy!😀 -Tami

Eek I put my drum carding station away to set up a diaper changing station instead. You're making me want to make batts and I can't 😂😂

Beautiful work! I can definitely relate to not being Able to verbalize my actions/choices. As someone with ADHD people often find my creative process chaotic but there's almost always a reason for the things that I do. Donkey is a beautiful soul! I have a blue Pitt named Blu Cheese and he is the sweetest most gentle soul it hurts my heart when ppl are afraid of him. Wonderful video! Thank you for all of your hard work!

So fun to see the color combos that other artists make

Lovely batts💜

Hi Trish, I'm watching your video (Turning Tons of Wool/Silk/Bamboo/Firestar/Angelina Into Beautiful Batts on a Drum Carder) where you made 4 beautiful batts. The moment you start no. 3 batt, I knew that was my favorite. I think it looks like a tropical Island rocky reef. The colors remind me of the beautiful colors of the white sand, blue waters and underwater rocky reef, with fish swimming around. I would love to see what it looks like spun up. Did you sell the batt? Did you spin the batt? I'm curious, how much did it weigh? thanks again for all your beautiful and creative work. And, also for giving me so many wonderful ideas with colors and fibers, etc. xoxoxo

Beautiful batts!

I love watching batts being made! I enjoy making them too, but watching the colors go on makes me so happy!

Love, love the co!or combos, You inspire me

Nice color combinations

I love the different color segways that you put together. It's inspiring and so fun to watch you spin, dye and make batts.

That first red batt though 😍! And I can't wait to see how that 3rd green batt spins up! It looked so pretty. For the last colorful batt I couldn't help but think it looked like a unicorn fart 😂😅

You are so creatively minded. I believe you when you say it is intuitive. Me, not so much but I have access to wonderful artists like yourself who I can copy when it comes to different colors working together. Thank you.

The last one reminded me of a Monet painting

I always find your videos very uplifting. Thank you for everything you do, Trish!

I love seeing your creative process. Those batts are beautiful!

I'm not technical either, I like to make what I make and don't always feel the need to repeat it

I was wondering if the bamboo fiber is different to work with? I love all the colors, the name for the Spring Flowers ,you said it "Spring Flowers"...thank you & love you too

Great colors

I’ve never spun a batt before. Some day! Yours are so pretty! Thanks for sharing the process. ❤️

All of these look so lovely! The green/teal/white one is magical! Thank you for being who you are, sharing what you do and your thoughts - it's so inspiring x

So many beautiful batts!!! Thanks for the peek into your creative process. It was really enjoyable to see. Have a great rest of your day!

Now I know that's what kind of artist I am too lol. Small bits are awesome to save and keep for batts and blending boards. I like them all and thought the blue shades was going to be my favorite but it's the green one (sea-foam ocean waves) and the "candyland" is my second fave (the rainbow unicorn one)

The greens and yellows are beautiful ! I am anxious to see how it spins up!

Vampire Love. White caps of the sea. Ice creams of Spring/Summer

All super pretty 😊

I don't have any colour sense and don't know what colours look good together. im still learning to weave but would like to try spinning and blending my own yarn one day

The first bat reminds me of hunter flannel

You are a joy to watch. I just found your videos today and I'm so happy I did!😌 Where do you buy the sparkle you add to your batting? Do you dye your materials before making the batting or do you buy it already colored? Where do you buy your various fleece to make batting? Any suggestions on a drum carder?

Volcanic Journey, Cotton Candy Crush

Do you like the electric or hand crank drum carder better? If they were the same size and you could fit the same amount of fiber on each.

Do you use a knitting machine still? I’ve recently started using a knitting machine. It’s pretty cool. It would be neat to see videos if you do.
