Has anyone done this, or has anyone seen it done? I'm talking about going from raw fleece to a warm, heavy quilt. My grandmother used to make lovely quilts by taking apart worn woolen mittens, sweaters, and such and carding the wool. I don't know how she did it, and my dad doesn't remember seeing her do it. But I have her carders, with bits of colorful fibers stuck deep in the wires. And I remember her quilts.
I haven't found much information about how to do it....just a couple of paragraphs in Carla Emery's book. Haven't found anything online yet.
How many fleeces will it take? How will I prepare them and sew the wool into it so it doesn't shift?
Any links?
I posted this on byh, too, since I think there are some on each forum who don't visit the other often.
