Blending Board Carry Cover

Having an addiction for all things fiber, I tend to collect tools. Nothing is more important than keeping your tools well protected. My recent tool I purchased was a blending board by Howard Brush a local RI company that has been in business for over 100 years. The blending boards are used to blend fibers to used to spin into amazing yarns. For a great video on blending boards Gwen is the expert on the topic and has created videos using her Clemes and Clemes Blending Boards. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RlmqzEUNMxE.

I decided to make a folded carry cover so that the needles are protected and won't catch sliding in or out of a bag, because the bag actually folds over the board. The folds creates a pocket for the parts and brushes. They are made from high quality cotton decorator fabrics. I am selling the bags for $30.00. I will be releasing a drum carder carry cover too. This way not only are the needles protected but your fingers, little children's fingers and your fur babies as well.
