Fine - 72 point for finer wools and exotic fibres. I recommend this for most fibres/rovings/tops and textural aditions, except those heavy/coarse fibres, or debris filled fleeces. These will be better off with a 36ppi carder.
Coarse - 36 point for stronger/thicker wools or fibre with more vegetable matter to remove. Great if you have just washed your fleece from the farmer!
Fibre preparation made easy! Card and blend fibres and colours quickly and efficiently.
2 ratios for control
adjustable drums for all fibres
lacquered and assembled ready to use
clamps and awl included
quick and easy to remove handle
This new, improved model has two ratios for even more flexibility and control when carding and blending. Use the 6:1 ratio to prepare your fleece. The controlled intake and carding will produce a smooth even batt ready for blending, spinning or felting. Use the 4:1 ratio to blend sliver, colours and different fibre types consistently into an open and airy batt. Adjustable drum clearance allows you to set the teeth distance for total control of your fibre. All nylon bearings ensure it is light and easy to turn. The card cloth has wire teeth with a special protective coating and a flexible rubber backing for long life. The carder is strong and robust with the body made from Silver Beech hardwood. The carder has rubber feet to prevent it slipping.
Card 65gm (2¼oz) batt quickly and efficiently. Although arty yarns tend to be lighter from 30-50g.
