A blending board is a versatile tool that allows for the preparation of various textile fibres such as wool, alpaca, mohair, and silk into batts or rolags for spinning or other fibre arts projects.

It is particularly useful for blending different colours and textures of fibres together to create unique and artful yarns. Here are some key reasons why you might choose to use a blending board:

1. **Efficiency**: Blending boards can hold a significant amount of fibre, which can save time and effort when blending large quantities of wool.

2. **Control**: The board provides a flat, stable surface with fine teeth that gently comb and align the fibres as you work them, allowing for better control over the blending process.

3. **Creativity**: The board enables you to create visual patterns and textures in your fibre preparation, which can translate into beautiful yarns or felted pieces.

4. **Accessibility**: Unlike some other carding tools, blending boards are relatively easy to use either on your lap or a table, making them a good option for both beginners and experienced fibre artists.

5. **Portability**: Blending boards are generally lightweight and easy to transport, making them suitable for taking to workshops or using in different workspaces
