The Wild carder has been specifically designed for today's fabulous, fun and funky art yarns!! The extra long 72 point teeth allow you to include differing fibers, fabric, ribbons, feathers, paper and novelties to create one of a kind blends. The packer brush is adjustable and will control fine, low-crimp fibers and increase the size of the batt. The drum clearance is also adjustable which allows you to set the teeth distance for total control of your fiber. 

All nylon bearings ensure it is light and easy to turn. The card cloth has wire teeth with a special protective coating and a flexible rubber backing for durability and a long life. The doffer and cleaning brush are stored on the carder. The Ashford Wild Drum Carder is strong but lightweight and has a hand hold for easy carrying as well as rubber feet to prevent it slipping. The Ashford Wild Drum Carder comes assembled and lacquered ready to use - no additional assembly required.
