New Drum Carder!

September 6, 2008 at 10:20 am | In Musings, wool | Leave a Comment

Well I finally dove off the deep end and ordered a drum carder.  I’ve been asking a million questions, reading a lot and exploring the options out there.  There aren’t a whole lot of affordable options out there.

After being given some overtime pay for a special project I was asked to do, I thought, this is gift money to myself.  What did I want to gift myself for my 50th birthday?  The drum carder.

Lo and behold, the Howard Brush, David Tri Carder with the fine card is on its way.  There wasn’t an extreme amount of difference in the price between the Lindsey and the David and I decided that since Shetland was the least finest of the wool I prepare, and the fine brush can handle it, I would go with the fine.

I was told it was in stock and they would get it out in the mail this week so I’m almost holding my breath until it gets here.  I’ve decided to try not to jump up and down with joy when it gets here as not to annoy the DH.  I have so much wool just sitting there waiting to be made into batts and yarn.  And the nights are getting very cool, so this will be a real pleasure to learn.
