The Ashford Book of Carding offers clear, step-by-step guidance on blending, carding, and preparing fibre, making it ideal for those new to fibre arts.

How do I ensure my fibre blends are evenly prepared for spinning?
Use the Ashford Diz Stick to pull consistent sliver from your blending board and refer to the included Book of Carding for tips on achieving smooth, even blends.
