-Overview-
We at She and I Designs are proud to offer the "Fancy Kitty" brand fiber drum carders. Our drum carders were designed by avid spinners, knitters, and crocheters. All our products are hand crafted in our family workshops in the good old USA.
Our Kitten drum carders feature fully adjustable drums mounted on steel axles with sealed steel ball bearings on both the swift and licker-in for silky smooth lubrication-free operation.
They are built using modern methods, quality parts, and hand crafted care. The drums come pre-adjusted for optimum performance; however, they can be easily readjusted for your varying requirements.
This item is for the drum carder with the motorization kit installed, and includes the brush attachment. The motor kit uses a high quality gear head motor. This allows for great torque (turning power) at a very slow speed. It features speed control and reverse. It uses a tooth belt & pulley system that replaces the hand crank. It has the strength of a chain drive but without the noise & maintenance.
The Kitten Wide has a 4 to 1 drive ratio. It features a polybelt drive that does not slip, for smooth operation. It has 1/2" long carder wire giving you the ability to produce thick batts. It is 15" in length, 20" wide, and weighs approximately 37 pounds. Kitten drum carders are made from 100% North American Red Oak hardwoods. The slide out feed tray is made from one quarter inch hardwood veneer.
The Kitten Wide drum carders have a wonderful Tung Oil finish.
This drum carder is dressed with solid brass strips and all adjustment screws are stainless steel or zinc plated for a long and rust free life. It has a huge 17" wide drum that will produce batts 22" long.
We are currently offering it with several different options of tpi cloth on the licker-in and 1several options of tpi cloth on the swift. This allows you to choose the carding cloth tpi that best meets your personal fiber carding cloth needs. You simply choose the combination you want on the drop down menu to add the carder to your cart.
Rubber non-skid feet, one hold-down clamp (that is installed with a zinc plated steel screw, set in a brass insert), and a bit to fit the adjustment screws are included with the carder. With the exception of the screw-on handle, it will arrive fully assembled and ready to use at no extra charge.
