So fun, I used the Clemes and Clemes Mini Drum Carder with ITW "Telling the Bees" Suffolk sheep wool.
Yes, the fiber is Commercial combed top and ready to spin but I wanted to introduce more air, more loft, and create a batt, à la Inglenook Fibers.
First I split the fiber vertically in half. Then I weighed out half-ounce sections.
Since I was already using smooth combed top I bypassed the feeder tray and the small drum and "painted" the fiber evenly onto the large drum.
Separating the batt with the doffer,
Removing the batt.
A fluffy half-ounce of fiber: a Mini Batt.
