Hand cards – Wool
These Curved Back Wool Hand Cards made by Clemes and Clemes utilize a turned maple handle tenoned into an alder back. This combination of woods puts the bulk of the weight in the palm of the user’s hand, making these cards as ergonomic as possible. The smooth, round handle provides for a comfortable grip in small or large hands. These carders have 72 teeth per inch set in a vulcanized canvas foundation with a 7.5” x 4.5” carding pad.

Cotton Carders
Cotton hand carders are used to prepare cotton and other fine luxury fibers for spinning. The teeth are shorter and finer than wool carders because the cotton fibers are thinner and shorter than wool. The Carding area for the Schacht carders is 10.5″ x 4″ with 209 PPSI (Points Per Square Inch), and the Ashford carders are 10.5″ x 3.5″ with 190 PPSI.
