Ashford Drum Carder - Fine 72 pts/in - 30cm / 12" Width

The Extra Wide Ashford drum carder really goes to batt for you making a huge 100 gram (3.5 oz) batt. It 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, colors and different fiber types consistently into an open and airy batt. Great for making pre-felts.

The carder retains the adjustable drum clearance - allows you to set the teeth distance for total control of your fiber. 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 batts quickly and efficiently. It comes assembled and lacquered ready to use. Awl/doffer, 2 clamps and carding instructions are included. Batt size 22" x 12"- Weight 18 1/2 lbs.

Fine 72 point for finer wools & exotic fibers.
