Louet Standard Carder, 72 psi
The Standard Carder is made from laminated birch and has a hard white coating. The drum is 7 1/2" wide and the teeth are hard wearing high grade plated steel wire. All gearboxes on Louet carders are enclosed to prevent fibres from entering the gear system.
Both the Standard and Junior carders have extra fine cloth to perfectly card very fine fibres. All carders are equipped with a doffer brush, doffer pin and two table clamps to clamp onto a sturdy table. Louet carders have slightly more space between the licker in and main drum, reducing the need for pre-teasing fibres. They all produce a batt of approximately one ounce.
An instruction manual written by well known author and fibre artist Deb Menz is included with all Drum Carders.
