Ashford Wild Carder

Make unique blends for art yarn -

• adjustable packer brush
• extra long 72 ppsi teeth
• adjustable drum clearance
• lacquered and assembled
• cleaning brush, clamps and awl included

The Wild Carder has been specifically designed for today’s fabulous, fun and funky art yarns. The extra long teeth, 72ppsi (picks per square inch), allow you to include differing fibres, fabric, ribbons, feathers, paper and novelties to create unique blends.

The packer brush is adjustable and will control fine, low-crimp fibres 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 fibre. This carder is not just for art yarn, it will also card your fleece.

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 long life.

The doffer and cleaning brush are stored on the carder. The carder is strong but lightweight with hand hold for easy carrying. The carder has rubber feet to prevent it slipping. It comes assembled and lacquered ready to use.
