A fine-toothed drum carder for merino, alpaca, baby llama and other delicate fibers
Prepare your finest wool and natural fibers with this 108 TPI Mini Drum Carder, designed for fiber artists who work with delicate and specialty fibers.
The 108 TPI carding cloth has a denser arrangement of teeth, making it particularly well suited to fine, soft and delicate fibers. It is an excellent choice for merino, alpaca, baby llama, camel and other high-quality fiber blends.
The carder comes fully assembled and adjusted. Simply attach the handle and it is ready to use.
Designed for Fine & Delicate Fibers
The 108 TPI drum is designed for fibers that benefit from a finer carding surface.
It is especially suitable for:
- Fine merino wool
- Alpaca
- Baby llama
- Camel fiber
- Fine sheep wool
- Soft and delicate fleece
- Fine natural-fiber blends
- Specialty spinning fibers
It can also be used for blending different colors and types of fine fibers to create your own custom batts.
Why 108 TPI?
The carding cloth has 108 teeth per inch, providing a finer carding surface than 72 or 96 TPI.
This makes it particularly suitable for fine and delicate fibers where a smooth, well-organized batt is important.
The finer carding cloth is a great choice for spinners who work with premium fibers and want to preserve the softness and quality of their material during preparation.
Create Beautiful Fiber Blends
A drum carder allows you to combine different fibers and colors directly on the drum.
Use it to create:
- Single-fiber batts
- Multicolored batts
- Merino blends
- Alpaca blends
- Fine wool blends
- Custom spinning blends
- Fiber for wet or needle felting
- Materials for art yarn and creative spinning
Layer different fibers onto the drum and blend them together to create your own unique combinations.
From Fine Fiber to Soft Batt
As the drums rotate, the carding cloth opens and distributes the fibers across the main drum.
The result is a soft, even batt that can be removed from the drum and used for spinning, felting or further blending.
The 8-inch drum produces batts approximately 21 × 55 cm, making them convenient to handle while providing enough fiber for a wide range of projects.
Compact & Easy to Store
Despite its compact size, this mini drum carder provides a practical working surface for fine-fiber preparation.
The folding handle makes it easy to transport and store.
Two clamps are included to securely attach the carder to a suitable work surface.
The carder arrives assembled and adjusted, so there is no complicated setup before you begin.
