{"product_id":"louet-junior-drum-carder","title":"Louet Junior Drum Carder","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Louet Junior Drum Carder is a compact little workhorse for opening, blending and preparing fleece without giving over half your studio to a larger machine. Its 10cm (4in) working width makes it particularly lovely for thoughtful small batches, colour experiments and beautifully controlled batts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built from waterproof birch plywood with a hard white HPL top layer, and Louet’s enclosed gear system keeps carding smooth and reassuringly simple. The 9:1 surface-speed ratio helps the two drums tease fibres apart efficiently, while the flexible nickel-plated steel teeth work gently through wool and other suitable fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Junior produces batts of approximately 40g and weighs around 6kg, so it is substantial enough to feel steady on the table while remaining pleasantly portable. It arrives fully assembled with an instruction manual, Deb Menz carding booklet, cleaning brush, doffer pin and table clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoose your carding cloth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e46 TPI:\u003c\/strong\u003e a beautifully open choice for farm fleece, longer or coarser fibres and textured art batts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e72 TPI:\u003c\/strong\u003e a versatile all-rounder for most wool, colour blending and everyday fibre preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 TPI:\u003c\/strong\u003e the extra-fine option for fine wool and delicate fibres where a smooth, refined preparation is wanted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease choose carefully:\u003c\/strong\u003e the carding-cloth density is built into the machine.
