I think I am ready for a drum carder

[Deleted]

I have been enjoying the hand caring but a drum carder would be very nice. Hubby wants to buy one for me.
So now begs the question which one. I have been looking and would like to know if any of you have any thoughts on this one

I have an ash ford drum carder with an add-on Duncan brush. It gets a lot of use..

@steff503, Get the finest drum (most tpi) you can get. You can always card coarse fiber on a fine drum but you will mess up fine fiber with a coarse drum. A packer brush or burnishing tool is nice.

I have a Patrick Greene Deb's Deluxe (no longer made ... the current one has a much larger drum than mine) with burnishing tool.
