Ashford’s manual drum carders make it quick and enjoyable to prepare fleece, blend colours and fibres, or build beautiful batts for spinning and felting. Choose the carding cloth and width that best suit the fibres and quantities you usually work with.
I love making batts. Freshly lifted from the drum, they are some of the prettiest things a fibre lover can create, and a carder gives you complete freedom to develop your own colour and texture combinations.
The two ratios give you useful control: prepare fleece into a smooth batt, or make a lighter, more open blend from colours, fibres and sliver. The adjustable clearance also means the carder can be tuned to the material rather than forcing every fibre through the same setting.
If this item is not currently on the shelf, you can still order it through my website. I will order it from Ashford especially for you, let you know the expected timescale and keep you updated while it is on its way.
