DRUM CARDER

Wingham Wool 72 ppi Drum Carder New
Purchased in August 2024 from Wingham Wool Works as a treat for an  upcoming Big Birthday, and to make the most of as many fleece as I wanted  from my DIL’s family flock, I was stopped in my tracks by major surgery and  now arthritis in my fingers.
Still in its’ original box – the carder has only been taken out to check the  contents and to attach the handle – it is in pristine condition, and looking for a  new owner.
Set at 72 ppi (points per inch), the carder is built from European Beech,  finished with Danish Oil and “the shafts between the drums are held in Oilite  bearings, reducing friction”. The carder has a two-speed drive, adjusted by  swapping over gears on the side of the carder.
For more information, check the Wingham Wool Works website, and search for Wingham Drum Carder, Standard. Contents of the  box include: Standard Drum Carder; Packer Brush, Cleaning Brush, Doffer Awl  and 2 table clamps. Dimensions are: 47 cms long, 33 cms wide, width including  handle, 41 cms, height 20cms and weight 7.kg.
Extras include: Ashford Niddy Noddy (creates 5ft/1.5m skein), an Ashford  Niddy Noddy Sampler (creates sample skeins), 10 x 20-22cm porcupine quills, 10  x 18-20 cm porcupine quills (softer and more flexible than the doffer for  removing anything non-fibrous from the fibres as you card), plus spare drive  belt.
Carder still retails at £400, plus the extras £80. I am seeking reasonable  offers around the £420 mark, plus postage and packing (by DPD, approx £10).
Any offer will be carefully considered.
I am happy to provide any additional information and/or photographs you may  need. Please contact Anne Tate by email at annektate@gmail.com. I will then send you my telephone number to chat further.
