Try your hand at processing some of your own fibers for spinning. I have the David and Lyndsey carders for sale. The Lindsey: A quality inexpensive entry level double drum carder that comes fully assembled and is made out of solid, unfinished hardwood. The overall size is 15.5 x 14 inches(not including the 10 inch pull out wool tray). The swift or main drum is 8 inches wide and 8 inches in diameter & runs on sealed ball bearings, the feed drum or licker in is 8 inches wide and 2.5 inches in diameter. The pulleys & axles have been redesigned for even greater ease of turning & smooth operation. It will now make a batt size of 8 x 22 inches, and is ideal for most types of fibers. Available Standard @ 72/90 TPI or Fine @ 90/120 TPI. $410.00 to $435.00 Includes free shipping and cleaning brush. The David-A quality inexpensive premier triple drum carder that comes fully assembled and is made out of solid, unfinished hardwood. The overall size is 15 inches long (not including the 10 inch pull out wool tray), 17 inches wide and 10 inches high. The main drum or swift is 8.5 inches wide and 8 inches in diameter and the other two drums are 8.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches in diameter. The pulleys & axles have been redesigned for even greater ease of turning & smooth operation. The swift axle & bottom licker axle now run on sealed ball bearings. The top licker-in had to remain in an eccentric bushing for adjustability. It has a batt size of 8 x 22 inches, and is ideal for most types of fibers. The advantage of the triple drum carder is it takes only half as much turning to produce the same quality batt.
