Just Call Me Cranky!

Guess what I've been doing?
Between last night and this afternoon I've carded my way through a mountain of fiber.

It started with just over 8 ounces of superfine merino, continued through 1 1/2 pounds of Llama (that's a whole lot of llama!) and has continued through about half of the seemingly endless Scottish Blackface.
It's not all in this photo, but the pudgy merino batts are the tawny ones in back; 7 of them, each a bit over an ounce. Next is the llama on the left; these are "skinnier" batts, but as big as the carder would hold and there are oodles of them, a huge bagful. And the white clouds are my Scottish Blackface. These are just a few of the mass that lives in its own plastic bin -- the biggest that Wally world had -- I did twelve batts, double-carded. Just call me cranky ! ! !

You are much braver than I. I just bought 10lbs of Southdown Babydoll, roving. I have a 5lb bag up stairs that needs to be cleaned and carded. I'm hiding from it.
