Carding Wool - General information - The Woolery. General informationCarding of wool can either be done "in the grease" or not, depending on the type of machine and on the spinner's preference.
"In the grease" means that the lanolin that naturally comes with the wool has not been washed out, leaving the wool with a slightly greasy feel. Hand carders (and small drum carders too, though the directions may not recommend it) can be used to card lanolin rich wool. A major benefit of working with the lanolin still in the wool is that it leaves you with soft hands. Carding is the processing of brushing raw or washed fibers to prepare them as textiles. A large variety of fibers can be carded, anything from dog hair, to llama, to soy fiber to polyester. Watch this video! Hand CardersHand Carding: Hand Carders are a pair of wooden paddles covered in a pin cloth. See our large selection of hand carders....
Hand carders are used two at a time to brush the wool between them until all the fibers in a bunch more or less align in the same direction. Fully Felted Felt. In the fulling stage I use both tossing and the washboard methods.
Fulling by Tossing After removing the pre-felt from the plastic, begin tossing - lifting the wool in the air and dropping it on the table (Figure 2). At the start be gentle, try and think about getting air into your felt. As the felt begins to firm, continually open it up to be sure none of the edges are felting together. You will also need to begin to stretch your felt after each round of tossing. Fulling with Washboard I recommend further fulling your wool (after the initial tossing stage) by gliding the felt over a smooth corrugated surface.
The following items can also be used but are not quite as effective – wooden washboard, hard swimming pool bubble wrap ( Figure 4), ridges on the top of storage boxes or failing that the ridges on the drain board of your sink. Simply glide the work over the ridged surface with the aid of lots of soapy warm water. FAQs : BrotherDrumCarder.com - Makers of Affordable Reliable Drum Carders.
