Drum carder 54 TPI

Our versatile drum carder 54 TPI excels in carding and blending coarse wool and other fibers. It precisely aligns fibers, priming them for spinning and is a valuable tool for fleece preparation in crafts like felting.

Crafted with precision, it ensures a smooth and quiet operation thanks to inserted bearings and an industrial poly drive belt. The birch plywood frame measures 10” x 24” (25 x 60cm), and the carding cloth, made of highly tempered steel, guarantees long-lasting performance.

The drum carder 54 TPI yields batts sized at 7.5” x 24” (19 x 60cm). Upon receiving it, simply attach the handle, and you’re ready to go.

This carder features interchangeable drums, allowing easy configuration adjustments for different fiber types. Drum options include:

• 54TPI (Coarse) – Ideal for the coarsest wool.
• 72 TPI (Standard) – Suited for common wool types.
• 120 TPI (Fine) – Perfect for delicate fibers like cotton, alpaca, or angora.

Included accessories:

• Set of table clamps
• Doffer pin

• Set of Allen keys

We also offer an 72 TPI version of our drum carder for most common types of wool and fibers and an 120 TPI version which is perfect for fine wool and delicate fibers.
