Ashford Wild carder

Make unique blends for art yarn

This is the first drum carder I started to work with. It is compact and surprisingly the long tooth allow you to put more fibre than you think. If you plan to do art yarn, or anything textured, this is the drum. The kit contains anything you need to work your fibre

You won’t regret this investment! And if you choose to upgrade for a bigger carder later, don’t forget second hands drum carders are on high demand.

The Wild carder has been specifically designed for today’s fabulous, fun and funky art yarns. The extra long 72 point teeth allow you to include differing fibres, fabric, ribbons, feathers, paper and novelties to create unique blends. The packer brush is adjustable and will control fine, low-crimp fibres and increase the size of the batt. The drum clearance is also adjustable which 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 doffer and cleaning brush are stored on the carder. The carder is strong but lightweight with hand hold for easy carrying. The carder has rubber feet to prevent it slipping. It comes assembled and lacquered ready to use.
