A Wingham classic, our Hand Carders have been a staple of the kit-bag for handspinners for over 25 years.  The classic flat-back design makes it easy to learn to process your fibres at home or in the studio, creating beautiful blends that are ready to spin. 

The Carder
Built from sustainably sourced European woods, the design of the carder has two goals: functionality and durability. To make them easy to use we've gone for the flat-back design, meaning you're always working at the same angle when you present to faces of the carders together. They've incredibly easy to use and require very little effort to get great results.

A well made set of carders will last you many years of use. The hard lacquer finish will give protection against knocks and bumps, as well being wipe-clean to ensure they look just as good as the receive them.

The Card Cloth

  • 72 ppi (Points Per Inch) - This is the "standard" setting and what we would recommend for the majority of wools available from Wingham Wool and elsewhere.
  • 120 ppi - These are our fine carders and are suitable for very fine wools.

Specifications

  • Includes two carders
  • Flat back and working area
  • Weight per carder - 360gm approx

"Do I Need Curved Carders?"

As with many tools in the textile world there are many variants of hand carders and you may have seen carders which have curved wooden backs: This means that as you comb the carders against each other you can "flick" the wrist a little, which can feel like a more natural movement. For the Wingham Hand Carders we've chosen to keep the flat backing, so you always have a flat, consistent working area for your fibres.

Lovely carders

Thank you so much for the lovely carders and the freebies of wool. It was such a joy to receive them so quickly and be able to get started on preparing my wool for spinning. They are exactly what I wanted; they are beautifully made and are just the right size for me..very comfortable to hold and use. That you included the free samples of different wool was fabulous. Thank you again.

excellent service

Well made carders, not too heavy and a nice size. Arrived well packaged along with additional fibre. If I had the smallest of complaints....it would be nice if the fibre was labelled, but the carders are lovely and I am looking forward to using them

Proper Wool Carders

Recently got into wool spinning and managed to borrow a pair of carders for a short period. Realised I needed my own and spent a long time searching for the right ones. These are real proper sturdy and hard wearing carders. These are the correct ones for carding wool. Don�t be tempted to try Amazon for carders. You�ll end up with 2 pet brushes which cannot do the job properly. You get what you pay for and in this case, you�re paying for quality, fit for purpose and quick delivery. Cannot recommend enough!

Excellent carders

I got these as a birthday present and they are great. Comfortable to handle and do a really good job of clearing out the vm and smoothing the fibres. I also use them in combo with hackle combs on longer staple wool. Thoroughly recommend.
