The new improved Ashford Drum Carder has two speed ratios for even more flexibility and control when carding and blending.

Use the 6:1 ratio to prepare your fleece. The controlled intake and carding will produce a smooth even batt ready for blending, spinning or felting.

Use the 4:1 ration to blend sliver, colours and different fibre types consistently into an open and airy batt.

The new carder retains the adjustable drum clearance - allows you to set the teeth distance for total control of your fibre.

All nylon bearings ensure it is light and easy to turn.

The card cloth has wire teeth with a special protective coating and a flexible rubber backing for long life.

The carder is strong and robust with the body made from Silver Beech hardwood.

The carder has rubber feet to prevent it from slipping.
