Carding and Spinning
Learning to card and spin has been an adventure to say the least. I started out with hand carders which are fine, but labor intensive. I was given an awesome electric drum carder, that needed repair. The gift was great, but the cost to repair exceeded my budget. I purchased a small drum carder that is operated by turning a crank. This small carder has been working quite well for me. I purchased a Baby Brother and while this is a vast improvement over the use of hand carders for me I am still thinking about buying a larger drum carder. I am still mulling this over. I purchased a Fantasia Spinning Well a year or so ago and have improved my spinning ability by leaps and bounds from where I first began. I am finally getting this, it is a little like patting your head and rubbing your belly…
