Louët 4" Jr Roving Drum Carder (Fine Cloth 46 tpi)

Louët drum carders come fully assembled and complete with table clamps, doffer pin and doffer brush. The crank mechanism is entirely enclosed to prevent fibers from wrapping around the axle. The carding cloth has extra long, paired teeth that make big thick batts for spinning or felting.

The diameter of the drum is 10" and the width is 4". Compared to the new Standard Drumcarder the cloth has fewer and higher teeth (46 teeth/sq inch, 5/8" long) and the teeth are designed to intertwine. This makes this rumcarder more suitable for medium to long fibers. It is the perfect carder if your needs include carding lots of thick batts fast. It is great to card batts for layers for felt making and color blending can be done with success as well. The carder clamps to a table and comes already permanently adjusted for you.

Perfect for small projects, producing a 4 wide batt that can be spun from when you remove the batt from the carder. The batt that is created is the size of a commercial roving. A great introduction to the world of drum carding.
