It is Romney long wool and it is making roving which has not been spun into yarn yet.

Thank you! This is not Grace Shalom Hopkins in this video but yes, she has made videos for us before.

It falls to the bottom but not all of the vm. You will always have to hand pick some out.

On this cage they are 1/2" x 1/2".

@@brotherdrumcarder I'm surprised the Alpaca doesn't blow through.

@@nancycat2588 This is just a catch cage for testing but very little fiber blows through. Even with alpaca.

It varies on the fiber that is being fed in. There is a few things that you could try for that: You could try hand painting the fiber directly onto the large drum and we have some KZbin videos that help explain that technique. Fiber is being fed into the drum carder in pieces that are too thick…….make sure they are very thin bits, thin enough to read the newspaper through. Licker in is too close or to far away from the big drum. Fine fiber naturally tends to build up on the licker in somewhat……some fibers build up more than others…..let it build up and keep carding, just leave the fiberon the licker in and see if it helps. The licker in is meant to transfer the fiber to the big drum as well as take out nepps, second cuts, etc. If the fiber you are working with is free of the “junk” you don’t want in the batt anyway then this is an option. You can clean it off the licker in later and add it directly to the big drum Tease the fiber very well. Don't hold back on the fiber as it is feeding into the carder. If the humidity is very low, try spritzing the fiber with a weak solution of water & fabric softener to reduce static electricity.

I have heard of people getting 3-4 ounce batts off this large motorized model brother drum carder.

@@brotherdrumcarderThanks for the info!

This is a picker it opens up the fiber. The more open the fiber is the better the VM can drop out.

How much wool can this machine process an hour?

Sorry, typed this before listening to the whole video.

The Brothers have a great picker! All machines made by the Brothers are wonderful and are very easy to use.
