Carders
Over the past 30 years we have developed our own design of flat backed carders. Today we produce our own card cloth using an industrial machine, acquired from just over the border in West Yorkshire. This allows us to define exactly what settings we need. If you have specific needs then feel free to get in touch and discuss your requirements.
Specification
- Made from Birch plywood, this prevents splitting of the back which can occur with solid wood.
- Easy grip handle turned to fit into the palm of the hand with a comfortable shape. Angle of the handle set to give correct face to face contact of the carders with knuckles safely out of the way.
- Covered in 72 point card cloth with 3 ply rubberised back for durability.
- High quality lacquered finish to permanently seal the woodwork
- Weight 350gms each, size 22cm by 13cm. Approx 8"x 4"
Our carders are flat backed as we believe them to be much more efficient than curved. These carders can be re-covered with card cloth when they wear out, which will not be for a long time.
Carders - Fine |
These are better suited for fine fibres including cotton and also the finer wools. They are made in the same way as the wool carders but have a finer wire covering. |
