Re: [AlpacaTalk] drum carder
I am also a novice, and I don't even have experience with hand
carders. I got a great deal on an Ashford Traditional wheel and a
Duncan drum carder plus tons of accessories including extra bobbins,
hand carders, drop spindles, Louet double row mini combs, jumbo flyer
and bobbins, niddy-noddy, and of course the lazy kate that is
included with the wheel plus bags and bags of fleece to learn with...
for and incredible price. Check Craigslist frequently, everyone!
With my limited experience, I would say get one as big as you can
afford, and get a motorized one. Mine is an 8" drum, which makes an
8x22" batt. Hand crank. So time consuming and slow!
