I have dreamt for a long time of one day owning a drum carder.

Well as luck would have it, I was talking to Christine from Glenora Weaving in Gerringong about popping up to see her when I asked if she got 2nd hand drum carders in.  She replied yes I have one now. 

So I put my skates on and headed down to grab a bargain. 

This little gadget makes life so much easier.  I can card about 100g of mohair in 40 minutes compared to 20g in an hour using my hand carders.  The kids often like to help card and miss 6 has an obsession with cleaning it. She sits with the awl and the flicker brush for ages making sure every little fibre is removed.
