Carding very short Cotton fiber

Processing very short cotton fiber on a drum carder is a true challenge.
However, on a Strauch Finest, and using a special technique, it can be done.

Thank you for this! Can you show what happens if you tease the fiber apart well with fingers first before feeding it into the carder?

[@basilrose]

Yes, and thank you so much Otto for the reply!

Is it a wool carder?

Hi, where can I get this machine?

Unfortunately Strauch went out of business and they are no longer produced. But there are other brands of drum carders available.

Maybe you should try at the beginning painting it onto the large drum, rather than putting it through the other process first, to see how that works and burnish it with the brush after.

Use a stiff acrylic brush. Metal on metal destroys teeth and cloth.
