Title: Drum carder wanted - loan or hire, Devon
Post by: LulaB on July 29, 2012, 03:07:40 pm

Hi

I'm processing Jacob and GFD fleeces at the moment. Washing? Fine. Drying? Just about. Teasing? Need help!

Anyone have a carder they would loan or hire to me for a week?

Are you a member of a spinning guild? They often have equipment for their members to borrow free of charge.
If you can't get hold of a drum carder, try to spin Jacob from the fleece with a bit of teasing, just from the lock. It's a very forgiving and easy breed. Take it easy!
