Re: [AlpacaTalk] drum carder
I have an Ashford drum carder that is still new in the box, never used. I
don't want to sell it but hate carding and don't feel it is really necessary.
A fellow spinner recently taught me to "card" the fleece by hand by holding
it in one fist and then pulling it apart with my hands about ten times. It
works just fine and spins great and a lot of the VM falls out, the rest does
while spinning. I have to admit that carded roving batts are easier to spin
but I don't want to waste the time doing it if the end product yarn looks the
same.
