| Kitten Drum Carder |
Just wanted to let you know that it got here friday night (the same day I picked up my new wheel)
and I LOVE it! I keep going back and forth carding and spinning, I am in heaven, seriously, I
haven't cleaned the house since it got here.
Thank you so much for making such a wonderful carder, hopefully around tax time I will be able
to purchase the coarse cloth for my art batts!

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I received my carder this morning and I am blown away! The quality is
outstanding, the packaging was wonderful and I love how quietly it runs! I have to say what I really liked was
the directions included. I have had a manual carder in the past from a different manufacturer and the
instructions on use were poor and not very helpful. All the info you included will make this a much easier
carder to use and enjoy. Your workmanship is so outstanding! I wish I could meet you in person and shake
your hand. Not many people take the time to do things right anymore and it is so good to know some
people still take pride in their work! Thanks so much! I am going to spread the word about your carders to my
other alpaca and llama friends and I hope more will purchase from you.
Sincerely,
Sally

Hello Ron,
I received my Drum Carder yesterday. WOW!!! I love it! I blended some wool to make a needle felted mask and
the batt turned out beautiful!
One of my concerns was a tool to loosen the bat but you thought of that and included the pointed stick.
I read and enjoyed all of the material included and it was very helpful.
You should be commended on how the machine was packed. Nothing was damaged.
Thank you again,

Hi Ron!
Yes, he arrived just fine, and got to use it a bit yesterday. I did blog on unpacking it yesterday, and I'll be
posting some 'making batts' posts in the next couple of weeks.. I'm really enjoying the carder, thanks so much
for encouraging me to upgrade!

Hi Ron,
It has arrived! It was in great condition. I would have felt safe mailed in that package. So much bubble wrap. My
cat is enjoying the box.
I've already tried it out and I don't know how I lived without it. I have also had the chance to try other carders
since I started spinning. For the same price and size range, this is the biggest and best priced carder I have
seen. It runs very smoothly. It seems easier to use than some of the other carders I've used. I'm able to feed
decent sized pieces of fiber into the licker-in without it becoming hard to turn. Other carders I've tried became
very hard to turn with even small amounts of fiber. It is easy to clean, especially because the larger drum is more
up out of the casing. I can easily get to it to clean it off. You produce a wonderful drum carder.
And it was very funny on my end. A friend of mine (also from Huntington) and myself both ordered our carders
from you at almost the same time. And we were completely unaware of it until she told me she ordered hers and
I exclaimed that I had too. We had both been waiting to see if we could find used carders for a good price and I
guess we both came to the conclusion that we weren't going to find a used carder for any cheaper than the
Fancy Kitty so we should just get a brand new one. I am very, very glad I did. Thank you.

Hi Ron,
Thanks very much for your note. I absolutely love the Kitten drum carder! I have been carding and spinning
up a storm since I received it last week. I have sampled a variety of fibers, including kid mohair, merino, and
cormo. Today I am going to make a merino/tussah silk blend.
Thanks very much for your excellent and prompt service!
Kind regards,

The Big Tom arrived yesterday and my husband and I set it up in my studio today. I carded some Alpaca
fleece I had washed and it made a very thick batt. I was surprised how thick it was compared to how it looked
thin on the drum. It worked beautifully, though and I am so glad I got the big one instead of the hand cranked
carder. Thank you so much for the beautiful work you do and for providing these supplies for those of us who
really need a carder and don't want to pay to exorbitant prices the comparable drum carders cost.

Ron,
My carder arrived UPS today and I am in heaven! I have ten alpacas, angora bunnies and process fiber for 4
other farms. You have no idea how much work you have saved me.
I have had 2 Ashford carders and am so amazed at how much better the Fancy Kitty Carder works and how
much less effort it takes to use it. I've been a carding fool since it arrived.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful product!

Hello Ron,
I got my carder today !! I want to thank you for producing such a wonderful product. The craftsmanship is
superb, really solid - I'm thrilled with it. All set up and ready to go (I'd made sure I had an adapter plug for its
arrival), I made my first batt this afternoon, it came out great even after 1 pass.
Thanks for the great packaging, it arrived safe and secure. Customs got me for £119 - I was expecting that so
it wasn't too much of a surprise. Just thought I'd let you know in case anyone else asks. Worth every penny
though
I took some pics......the dogs were very interested! My daughter was at home today too and we opened it
together. It was like Christmas...................Anyway, I'm so pleased I chose to buy my Kitten. I would much rather
support people like you than the huge companies any day.
Keep up the good work,
Asti (Juno Fibre Arts)

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I just received the picker. I am completely satisfied and
impressed by the workmanship! The attention to detail is very appreciated. My father was meticulous in
anything that he did and I could see the same traits in your work. I just wanted to let you know that the quality
has not gone unnoticed.
I look forward to many hours and years of picking fleeces!
Many thanks,
Catherine Fontana

The carder came Friday. Thank you for making such a great carder. It's 10 times better
than I would have hope for. Already used on several fiber, spun it, plied, wash it,
waiting for it to dry so knit a sample for a future project.
But I do not have to tell what a great product you make for a third of what another
carder would be, which I would not mentioned for fairness to a fellow vendor.

Hi Ron --
The drum carder was waiting for me today when I got home -- and it is BEAUTIFUL !!! The packing was
incredible, the instructions so complete and the carder is just incredible! Your workmanship and attention to
detail are truly spectacular. and the timing could not be more perfect as I am running a little local shearing
festival with demos next weekend. I can't wait for this Saturday to try it out -- I know I will be blown away. Just
one question. Is there anything I should do to protect the motor housing from debris falling off the swift?
Thank you again for a wonderful product. I would be happy to send photos of me and the carder, but since
the dogs have yet to learn how to push the little button (rather than licking the lens) on my camera, I fear you
will have to settle for WIP shots of the carder on my work table.
Best regards,
Pamela

Hello Ron,
I assembled the picker and finished a fleece that my wife and I had been working on for months. I can't believe
how well it works. Also, the wool carded up much smoother than I have ever been able to get it before without
running it through the carder numerous times. I love this picker. After I pick the fleece, I put the carder on the
bench top and it is much less tiring to work with then when it is down on tabletop level.
We have been saving and planning to get a picker for over two years (a Pat Green picker), but when I saw
yours I decided that it was the one that I wanted. I couldn't be more thrilled with it.

Hi Ron,
Our new toy arrived in perfect condition yesterday. It was immediately removed from the box and set up. I had a
washed alpaca fleece ready and waiting for it. There was a slight learning curve in how to feed the
fiber most effectively. Once that was conquered, we picked up a storm. We now have a large container full of
picked fleece just waiting to be carded. As we were doing the picking, my husband kept saying, "This is
the piece of equipment we've been missing all along."
Thank you so much
for your great product.
