I'm a spinner and here's a tip. To remove your finished batt from the large drum, (and to clean both the drum and licker after you're finished), use a metal tined hair brush cleaning tool to loosen it as you go, and this will change your world.
I use a porcupine quill to lift fibres from the teeth on the drum. I believe that the doffer tool can damage both the cloth and the tines. The batt is absolutely dreamy and I love the way the colours blended. I love alpaca fibre 🥰🥰🙏🏼
