Carding For Color And Texture
Supplies: Drum carder or hand carders
Dyed wool
Dyed silk noils
Angelina
Luxury fibers like cashmere, angora, and alpaca
And, if you’re like me, a color wheel.
I need a color wheel when I am operating with color blending to avoid creating mud. Joseph Itten identifies seven color contrasts. The contrasts I use when dyeing are hue, lightweight and dark (vs saturation), and warm and cool. I avoid complements unless the color areas are large. For instance, complements work when dyeing massive areas of spaced dyed yarn, however may not when applying many colors during a painterly fashion.
Enhances could not work in carding for color as a result of the colors don’t juxtapose, but mix and dirt might result!
Light-weight and dark might wander away in an exceedingly blending situation.
Analogous colours and monochromatic colours are nice tools to use when selecting colours for color blending.
Equal components of most colors work well together. A little amount of 1 hue may be lost in a very blending unless it’s shining, metallic, hairy, or in some manner will stand out from the remainder of the fiber.
Some things to recollect about carding for color and texture is that the ensuing yarn can have the same characteristic as the fibers you’re blending. If you would like a sleek yarn, it would be best to avoid noils, silk waste, or short fibers like cotton in the blend.
When spinning for a selected project, the carding process may have to take place over several carding sessions. It’s a sensible policy to plan how abundant of each fiber you may need and additionally to weigh out what you’ll use thus that you’ll maintain some consistency within the project from skein to skein.
I like to use undyed, bleached luxury fibers for blending as a result of they stand out. You can SEE the limited bits of cashmere!
Layer luxury fibers in between layers of wool when using a drum carder unless you have fine carding cloth or the finer fibers could ride on top of the wire teeth.
Completely card silk noils before adding them to a mix unless you would like the terribly nubby look of the noils.

Digital Memory Cards For Cameras
Cameras are revolutionizing the world of professional and home photography in the digital age. However, just as traditional cameras require film, digital cameras require camera memory cards. Using memory cards in the best way can have an impact on your enjoyment of digital photography.
The capacity of a flash memory card is the amount of data that can be stored, measured in GB (gigabytes) or MB (megabytes. Higher capacity for digital data storage is indicated on the card, the higher the number the more room for images and videos. Larger memory files or larger capacity camera memory cards of 512 megabytes or 1 gigabyte are recommended if you’re planning on working with RAW images on a regular basis.
RAW files can be anywhere from 10 to 20 MB’s in size, while high quality JPEG images are 1 to 4 megabytes. While shooting JPEGS, having your setting on high quality will give you a great photo to either share or a quality image to work with when editing later on.
Diversifying your data with using multiple camera memory cards is highly recommended so that you don’t risk loss of your images if your card were to be lost or corrupted.
A good recommended memory card size to have is at least 512 megabyte for your digital camera for storing images safely. For most cameras, try not to consider a memory card that’s smaller than 512 MB, this size can hold from 100 to 200 JPEG images, depending on your camera settings and the image content.
The higher the resolution of the camera, the lower the available space is for for images that the memory can hold. You can determine the size of the camera memory card that you need by determining how many images you want it to be able to store or to save before transferring, and what resolution you will be using for your cameras photos.
Commercial digital cameras use SD formatted memory cards or Micro SD cards with an SD adapter can be used as well.
Professional digital cameras commonly referred to as SLR’s or DSLR’S use either SD cards or compact flash digital camera memory cards. These high end cameras can produce amazing high quality photos at an incredible pace and many photographers use a compact flash card that has fast read and write speeds as well as vast storage space for high mega pixel resolution. Photographers shooting photos at a fast pace, a high performance compact flash card will be able to process and store high resolution images without delay.
