We've built a lifetime of service into
our hand carders. They have a small lip milled into the rear edge of the paddle to
protect the card clothing from becoming worn and the handles have been precisely tenoned
into the paddles for superior strength.
Our wool carders are available in two gauges of carding cloth: 72 points per square
inch (an all-purpose carding cloth), and 112 points per square inch (great for fine wool
and downy fibers). All carders are available with curved or straight backs.
Our cotton carders are wider than our wool carders and are also available with curved or
straight-backed paddles. With 208 points per square inch, our cotton cards are
excellent for cotton and other short fibers.
Our flick carder is a small, single carder with 72 points per inch. It is
used to separate and tease fibers in preparation for spinning by working the fiber against
either a stiff piece of leather or heavy canvas.
