The Doffer/Cleaner brush is used to clean the large drum after you have removed the batt. It looks similar to a "Flicker" but with different points. Our Doffers are 2" wide and 4 ½" long. The pads have ½" long points spaced 72 per square inch. Use the center portion of the Doffer brush to contact the curve of the large drum. Starting at the seam, swipe the Doffer brush down the drum in the same direction as the teeth on the drum. Continue across the width of the drum. Slowly rotate the drum backwards as you use the brush to clean the entire drum.
If it shows in stock it will ship from Maine. If it is a backorder it will be drop shipped from the factory usually in 6-10 business days.

Clemes hand carders are designed to combine
comfort and function in a most necessary tool for the hand spinner. They use a maple turned handle that provides a comfortable grip for
both small and large hands. The handle is tenoned into an alder
wood back, either curved or flat, to ensure long life. The teeth
are set in a strong yet flexible backing to provide many years of
use. They regularly hear from customers who purchased their carders
in the 1970's and are still using them on a regular
basis.
Wool Carders
The wool carders have 72 points per square inch and are
an excellent all purpose carder for carding any type of wool. The
wooden backs measure 5" x 4 5/8".

As you rub the wool on the board the ribbed surface accelerates the felting process.
Curved grooves allow soapy water to flow as you rub.
Try making a ball to get a feel for felting:
Take a handful of carded wool, pour over it a mixture of hot water
(as hot as you can handle) and detergent. Soap powder can be used
instead of detergent, but dissolve the powder well in the hot water
first. Rub the wet wool between you hands to form a ball, and continue
squeezing and rubbing until you have a solid ball of felt. It is
surprising how much wool goes into a small ball. Experiment with layers
of different colors of wool. Completely cover the entire ball with each
felted color, before adding the next layer. The ball can be cut to
expose these layers. Rinse the ball in cold water, then hang out to dry.
When in stock, it ships from our shop in Maine. When out of stock (backordered) it will ship from Ashford USA

The Petite is a manual drum carder with a polyurethane drive belt. This carder is great for fiber artists with budget and/or space considerations who want a Strauch quality machine.
As with all Strauch drum carders, the Petite comes with our Brush Attachment. The Petite is an excellent choice for a mid-sized carder with full sized features. The Petite is slightly smaller, with 6¾" wide drums instead of the 8¼" wide drums on the singlewide chain drives. The carder produces a batt approximately 6½" wide x 22" long. The Petite also has a 4:1 drum ratio.
The frame is made from high durability MDF material. The Petite frame is 16" long, 10" wide and 7" high. An important feature: The tall frame allows the handle to swing freely of the table surface.
This was a display model in the shop. It's dusty but it's never been used. Price reflects that.
