Blending Boards

Roy Clemes with blending board

Our February 2025 Meeting speaker/demonstrator was Roy Clemes, from Clemes and Clemes, who demonstrated the use of a blending board.

The following Saturday, we had a guild blending board afternoon. Wendy brought 3 to 4 pounds of wool that she had dyed in close to 40 colors. We had eight blending boards and oodles of dyed wool to experiment with. Check out the colorful rolags we created!!
