Carders
We offer a wide selection of
hand carders. They are made of
maple. A molded lip on the rear
edge of the paddle protects the card
clothing from wear. The flared han-
dle is very comfortable and reduces
the amount of effort required in
carding. Our wool carders are avail-
able in 72 and 112 points per
square inch. Our 208 p.s.i. cotton
carders are excellent for fine fibers,
including cotton angora, and cash-
mere. Our flick carder, with 72 p.s.i ,
is a small single carder and is used to separate and tease fibers.
Spindles
Our drop spindles are available
with 2½”, 3" or 4" diameter whorls,
and come with a brass hook so
they can be used for either top- or
bottom-whorl spinning. These spin-
dles are good for spinning medium
to long fibers, especially wool.
Our pear tahkli support spindle
has a hooked brass shaft and a maple bob. This spindle is excellent for spinning
cotton and short, downy fibers.
Our
Navajo spindle
has a 30" tapered shaft and a 4½"
maple whorl.
