The Ashford Drum Carder
Prepare batts quickly and efficiently. Ideal for spinning or felting. The
packer brush helps pack the carded fibres into the teeth of the large drum
which allows more fibres to be carded and results in a thicker batt. It helps
control fine low crimp fibres such as mohair, angora and alpaca.
The two-speed ratios give 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.
