Deluxe Drum Carder - Easy Clean -

  • £55900


NOTE: OUR CURRENT PROCESSING TIME FOR THE CARDERS ARE 4-5 WEEKS.

We are still recovering from our woodshop fire in February, but hope to be back to faster processing times soon. Read about the fire here: https://www.bamfiberworks.com/pages/fire-update

Crafted in our woodshop in Central KY. This Drum Carder has been a project 8 years in the making. During the designing process I decided to LOAD the carder with any helpful feature I could imagine. (Including several never seen before features)

From the finished prototype I worked backwards going through my system to craft these efficiently so I could make the price VERY competitive and give you the greatest value.  I am so excited to offer this product. As always if you don't absolutely love it I do WHATEVER it takes to make it right.

The carder is a work of art. The tools and how he created slot to fit each tool is genius. I had an old carder and I always had to take it completely apart to clean out the bearings. You don’t have to worry about that with this carder. Everything comes apart, so simply to clean and cleaning the drum with the self cleaning drum is just amazing. I love it. The batts are beautiful. Worth every penny.

Functions every bit as well as the video says it does. The licker in picks up almost no fiber as long as you don't force feed it or hold back on the fiber. I'm more than happy with my purchase.

Love it!!

I'm very happy with my carder. I am working through a bunch of Mohair and it turns that stuff into spun floof! Can't wait to spin and Knit socks with this yarn.
Your carder was worth every dime and has exceeded expectations.

I bought to help you out after the fire. My money was well spent. Keep rising. Never quit. BAM is a treasure to the Fiber Arts community.
