Neck-wear for the art yarnist (yarn artist) in you!

I have been seriously contemplating starting up an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a drum carder. I often feel like I've hit a creative road block (since my handmade carder has been rendered useless). There are bags and bags of raw fibers waiting for me to dip into... but I can't blend any of it into lovely fiber sandwiches! 

Blending fibers and colors on a drum carder, like a textile painting, is my favorite (most inspiring!) part of the spinning process.

I thought these funky, cozy, warm Yarnist Lariats would make a nice perk in the "help me buy a carder" campaign. 

 

What do you think?

Should I do it?

What sort of "perks" would get you stoked to donate?

Does anyone have any experience with Indiegogo or other similar websites?
