The batts produced on this 10 cm (4”) wide carder weigh as much as the batts produced on a traditional full size carder. The higher teeth, 13 mm (1/2”) and the greater diameter 25 cm 10”) make this possible.  Comes with the doffer brush, doffer pin, table clamps, and instructions. The carder gets its name from the 10 cm (4”) wide roving like batts it produces. The drum size is 25 x 10 cm wide (10” x 4” wide). Otherwise identical to the standard Louët Drum Carder, this instrument is a powerful tool for all spinners and felters alike. Operation is easy. Simply clamp carder on corner of sturdy table with the two table clamps provided. Use your left hand to guide unteased locks right into the carder while turning the handle with your right hand. The Louët Roving Drum Carder Junior comes with table clamps, doffer brush, doffer pin and instructions. sold by: Hilltop Gardens and More Pavilion, New York 14525 http://stores.ebay.com/Hilltop-Gardens-and-More Contact: Barbara Beach Email: kkbbeach@aol.com Phone: 585-584-3077 We are located in Pavilion, New York among the rolling hills of Wyoming County. A family owned business; we have operated at this location since 1978. After a few years of researching and visiting other farms, we added Alpacas to the therapeutic animals and other animals on our farm. Family members had for many years knitted and crocheted appreciating fine and unusual yarns. Now, as fiber animal owners, we began to acquire knowledge, acquaintances, interest in having our own fiber made ready for use in our creations and for others that appreciated (especially the spinners and felters). Our frustrations seemed to be shared with other fiber animal owners in that if you did find a source to get your own fiber back it was so far away that you felt you were kind of sending your precious animal’s fiber into the big unknown, hoping that someday in the far, far future you might get it back. We embarked on our quest to find the path that would work for us and other alpaca and other fiber animal owners. We learned that the raw fiber that was precious to us as animal owners also was appreciated by fiber artists in its carded form (batts and roving). We then learned how we could prepare our own fiber for that use. Feel free to email any questions or visit our farm and try the carders.
