I've been looking at carding drums for a while, as I make and sell felted ( needle & wet felted ) 2D pictures. I wanted a machine that could help me blend larger amounts of wool ( I have tennis elbow at the moment ), I find it hard on my elbow, to do hand carding.Wow, this drum carder is fantastic. The blends look so natural. I love my sea batt , I have also done sky and grass as well as back grounds for my other pictures.I have used this drum carder for the last week, and I can honestly say, "I am over the moon."The machine itself is quality. When it arrived it only needed the handle attached, and I was ready to roll. Even a child could have set it up.I would definitely recommend this Carding drum, in fact I already have!!!
Very impressed with the quality of this drum carder. Also very quick delivery and great communication .
Having researched many drum carders and discussed them with end users it became apparent that the Wingham offering came out on top. So, I went ahead and purchased the Standard Drum Carder. I was very pleased that the item arrived very quickly and was packed exceptionally well.From the outset the carder performed well, both my partner and I are very pleased with the product and would highly recommend it to any potential purchaser.
Quality build and easy to set up-Works perfectly- might be helpful to have a quill included to clean carding cloth but excellent product as typical of Wingham Woolwork
Really well made and good value drum carder. Works perfectly and simple to use with all the tools needed to get started. The only suggestion I would make are longer clamp blocks as my table has rounded edges and the clamps feel like they want to slide off at times

Dealt with this company on the recommendation of a friend who had also recently purchased a drum carder. Cannot fault the service, despite the fact the company were away when I decided I needed it today! I spoke directly to Tom and cannot fault the service I received. I waited only 1 week before one was available and it actually arrived in 48 hours.I have subsequently used it to reduce the large pile of fleeces I have to prepare and would recommend it to help speed this part of the process up. Thank you Wingham Wool
Beautifully made and easy to use . The service from ordering to delivery was easy and straight forward . I would highly recommend this company
I am delighted with my drum carder. The quality is excellent and the delivery and packing was spot on. This is a solid bit of kit. The more I learn about drum carding the more I appreciate this one for value for money.
I am enjoying using my drum carder, it's well made, easy to use and just the right size. I have been processing washed fleece from my sheep and it produces lovely rolags which are perfect for spinning. There was a small problem with one of the accessories, but this was dealt with very quickly and efficiently - so 5 stars for both the carder and the customer service, thank you.
Very sturdy drum carder, and easy to use with the large handle.
A beautifully made drum carder using good quality wood and fittings. The finishing is lovely and smooth and all the parts work beautifully together. It shows that care and thought has been made into putting this piece of machinery together. It works beautifully to card up to 30g of fibre at a time - you can maybe push on a little more but you do feel it when turning the handle. This has carded all kinds of fibre including washed unprocessed fleece which was very crimpy to softer silkier fibres like merino. For the finer fibres I tend to bypass the liquorin and card it directly on to the main drum but the few times finer fibre has passed through the liquorin, I didn't get too much trouble with stuck fibre. My drum carder came with the 2 table clamps, a cleaning brush and an awl. It is surprisingly compact which is something I'm grateful for as space is limited - I store this under my computer table. Definitely a quality item and a highly recommend purchase.
Really pleased with this drum carder. Nice solid design and easy to use.
My Wingham Wool Drum Carder is even better than I thought it could be. Well made beautiful beechwood, I was able to start playing after a few minutes of opening the box. Just attached the handle.. smooth easy motion no effort to turn. A birthday gift from my husband. I felt like a child again just opening the box. The Drum Carder is such a joy to use. I am having so much fun mixing fibers,colours trying out ideas. Thank you so much I really appreciate the quality of my purchase. The staff have been great with advice and so friendly. I ordered more wool I am going to need it !
This drum carder is sturdily built and turns smoothly. Deals easily with the exceptionally curly BFL fleece I recently acquired (after a bit of flicking and picking). Very pleased with it. Also very pleased with the packaging, a lot of very nice randomly coloured wool which should felt very nicely, and a couple of copies of Wheel magazine... thank you very much!
Having tried a friend's Wingham Drum Carder and dreaming of going from fleece to hand-knitted garments I took the plunge on this lovely item. So far I am thrilled with the craftsmanship and quality of the carder. It was delivered carefully in both recycled items and some gorgeous blended fibre too. I am very grateful to have this in my craft space and will be using it for years to come. Would recommend
