Schacht has built a lifetime of service into their hand carders. They have a small lip milled into the rear edge of the paddle to protect the card clothing from becoming worn and the handles have been precisely tenoned into the paddles for superior strength. Their wool carders are available in two gauges of carding cloth: 72 points per square inch (an all-purpose carding cloth), 112 points per square inch (great for fine wool and downy fibers), (and the cotton carders, listed separately, are 208 points per square inch..) All carders are available with curved or straight backs. These are very handsome carders indeed!
Listing is for one pair of Straight/Flat or Curved wool carders, all purpose, medium (72 TPI) or fine (112 TPI) wool. Choose from drop-down box at upper right. I have left the "old style" carder pictures in this listing to show the difference in backs. These are all new style/stock with the regular width rather than the old super-wide width.
Cards measure approximately 8" wide X 5.25", with a carding cloth measuring 7.75″ x 5″
I ship every day but Sunday. Your order will go out immediately.
