I had a great experience ordering from Golden Fleece Carders. Mark responded promptly to my questions via email. The wide carder was the perfect width for processing more wool while maintaining a compact footprint. I received it in the US within two days—super fast! The carder works beautifully; the bearings ensure smooth operation, and it’s easy to take apart and reassemble (I decided to apply a finish to the wood). I carded samples of Cormo and Merino, and with the 120 tpi cloth, the resulting batts were excellent for spinning. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase.
