Ashford Hand Carders - Small

The Ashford Small Hand Carders have comfortable round handles and you can choose standard 72 point or fine 108 point.

Hand carders are used in pairs to prepare fibre or blend fibres or colours in the traditional way. Lightweight and easy to carry they produce small rolags ready for spinning.

The card cloth has wire teeth with a special protective coating and a flexible rubber backing for long life. The bats are curved and measure 195mm (7.5") by 90mm (3.5"), excluding handle length.
