Hand Made Drum Carder As A Present For My Girlfriend

From an 80 year old woolspinner to a couple of youngsters!! You are so well matched. Both crafter's. Both interested in craft enough, to use each others achievements to please one another. I was not as lucky. Brilliant job. All you need do now is to find a short plank of wood a Bicycle wheel and you're half way to a spinning wheel.

Amazing job. It brings beautiful memories of my mother carding and spinning wool back in the 40's in Greece. My father, being a jack of all trades, built all her equipment. Of course, they were as perfect as yours (tools were primitive) but between all this my mother dressed the whole family. Thanks!!!!....

I am a yarn spinner, knitter, weaver, and bobbin lace maker and have to say that drum carded is a thing of beauty. They are so expensive to buy, I paid close to $400 US for mine. It’s not very big either. You are absolutely talented and skilled. I stumbled on your channel a week ago and have been going back to the first video forward. I seen the carder and had to watch now! I am a textile and natural fiber addict. 😂 small suggestion, finger pick the wool apart a bit more before feeding the carder with it, and little bits at a time. It will card it a bit smoother. I usually run each batt 2-3 times before spinning. Watching from southern Oregon, USA Thank you for sharing your skills and building journey with us. I appreciate the content.

Fiber artist here. This is very sweet gesture and a great looking carder. Carding wool is insanely time consuming, and you have to wash and pick the wool first! If you are processing a large amount of wool (more than one or two animals, goats sheep whatever) you might try making a larger version of this in an electric version. The issue with a hand crank carder like this is, you have to stop to lay the wool out and then crank. If it is automated, you can just focus on putting the fibers down. Sorry to give you more work to do but, this would really help your GF out! You could easily sell your carder for 300-500 dollars. A larger version of this, electric of this quality and the sky is the limit. $2500 to 10k easy money. Then your GF could send the wool to a fiber mill to have it cleaned and carded, so she can focus on the art part! Also, carding and cleaning wool is hard on the lungs, you should always wear a mask but, nobody does. Le sigh.

Dot, as you get better you'll find your yarn gets less "slubby", eventually you get to where you're making a nice, consistently sized thread, and you'll discover that people like the slubby stuff because it "looks" handmade, and you will have to work hard to get back to being able to make it that way. ;) I haven't used a drop spindle in a long time but it's a great skill to have. Congrats on the nice drum carder.

Another awesome, inspiring video Kris. Nice work on the carder. If Dot gets an old metal piping tip (like an icing piping tip) and splits the batt into strips and passes it through the tip it'll make continuous roving which is easier to load onto the drop spindle. Splitting the batt directly onto the spindle, like Dot was doing, requires an incredible amount of co-ordination (and a heck of a lot more thumbs and fingers) more than I can manage!
