Ok, so I've been looking at doing some felted projects, but I'm missing the hand carder to work with my wool. I have a little over 3 lbs of creamy colored raw wool right now. I've been looking into hand carders, but they're so expensive! While I was looking I found a little fiber blender here:

It's like $40 less, but it's only about 2.5 inches wide, where the normal size seems to be 6 inches wide. I don't know if something that small will really be able to do what I want it to do.
Since I want to make felted puppies, I'm also going to need more than one color of wool. Would I be better off dying the wool that I have to the colors I need, or should I buy wool in different colors? I don't need purples or blues or any unnatural colors, just shades of brown and black and stuff. Does anyone have advice on that as well? Thank you for any help!

I'm posting this in other knitting communities, but I wanted to post it here too because I know that there are people on my list that knit, and I remember looking at some of your dyed yarn ladytalon, so I just thought it wouldn't hurt. :)
