The awl is one of those little pieces of equipment that is doesn't seem like much, but makes life so much easier. It's used to lift the carded fibres fom the larger drum of your carder, allowing them to be either peeled off to make batts or rolled to create rolags.
While this awl is designed by us, and supplied with the Wingham Drum Carder range, it can also be used with equipment from other manufacturers.
