Attention To Details Is The Name Of The Wool Carding Game

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.

In today's modern society, life is extremely rushed and the routine of life seems to offer no reprieve to just stop and smell the roses. Crafts manipulated by hand, not only allow the creator a little solace, but also divert the mind from other stresses rather forgotten. Even though time is an issue, a hobby seems to be the one thing that anyone can find time for, especially if you have loads of fun while being creative.

This essential procedure organizes and breaks up the clumps of fiber to allow for individual strands to line up with one another and become ordered. It is also how different blends can be created, sometimes with differing colors within one thread. The beauty and texture of these products are beyond compare and are also ever evolving.

Each person is unique and individual's tastes differ tremendously. That is why hand crafted items seems to be really popular and in demand. Their unique, quirky quality tells a story of the artist and also of quality time spent creating the item.

The beauty lies in the materials chosen to implement the process of the craft, while the quality and appeal rest solely on how the used materials were processed. To achieve an end result of cotton fibers, or even felt (which is used extensively by many crafters) the method should be understood and appreciated. What one sees are the fruits of many procedures that the wool had to be subjected to, in order for the fibers to be usable to create colored, mixed yarn.

There are machines that carry out the measures aptly and create the most beautiful combinations and colors imaginable. However there are some people that respect the work put into creating something beautiful which in turn can be used with ease to create something new. This is then done by hand and painstakingly deliberated over until everything is perfect.

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.

With the array of materials available from just one source such as wool is (to say the least) is mind boggling! The mixing of fibers allows for ease of maintenance and use, which is not only inevitable for the crafter but for the end user too. So next time you gaze upon a beautiful ball of wool, take time to appreciate the amount of work that went into creating it.
