Wool Picker

My Christmas present in 2003. Approx. 200 teeth. I'm thrilled with it--MUCH faster than trying to prep wool for the drum carder by hand.

Drum Carder

120 tpi carding cloth. Approx. 4:1 ratio
This was my birthday present in 2003.


Hand Cards

190 TPI - great for cotton and other fine fibers.
Carding surface is approximately 4" x 4".

I use mine for carding cotton punis to spin on my charkha.
An elasticized velcro strap & drawstring bag make for convenient storage & portability.

  Lazy Kate

Tensioned 5-bobbin lazy kate in red oak to match my wheel.

  Spinning Wheel

This wheel was my Christmas present in 2002. I didn't realize I don't have any very good pictures of it at the moment.

It can be set up as double drive or single drive (either bobbin or flyer lead). It weights under 18 lbs and folds to approx. 6" thick for storage or transport. As you can see in the right-hand pic where it's in the backseat of the car, the top removes so that it can be packaged separately and not get banged around.
