Louët Drum Carders
Carders allow you to take your spinning to a whole new level.  Whether you want to start with a raw fleece and prepare it yourself, or whether you prefer mixing several different types of fibers--from wool to sparkle--you'll find that it is easily done with a drum carder.

Louët drum carders are high quality, easy to use, and very economical.  They come with a lifetime warranty from Louët.  The drum teeth are twice as long as most drum carders allowing you to get twice as much fiber on the drum.  There is no need to tease the fibers beforehand making other equipment unnecessary.

Louët has five different drumcarders: the Classic, Standard, Junior (or Roving), Elite and Electric drumcarder. They are made of laminated birch and have a hard white coating. The drums of the carders are 19 cm (7 1/2") wide, except for the drum of the Junior (10 cm (4") wide). In order to ensure a long life, the teeth on all Louët carders are made of high grade plated steel wire. All gearboxes, except for the Elite drumcarder, are enclosed to prevent fibers entering the gear system.  All carders include a doffer brush and doffer pin.

Most items are shipped separately via FedEx ground shipping. 
Equipment is special ordered, please allow at least two weeks for delivery.


Louët Roving Carder

 

Louet Roving Carder, extra fine cloth
 $347.00, plus $25 shipping  ($372.00 total)   
 

4 inch wide drum, enclosed gears for smooth and easy operation. No lubrication is needed, and no adjustment of any kind is required to keep this carder in great shape! High, flexible teeth that allow for a heavier batt. Lifetime warranty.

I have this carder and it is loads of fun!  I don't have to fuss with the fibers because it feeds easily.  I can get a nicely fluffy batt off of the drum and like the narrow, more easily drafted width.

The Standard and Junior/Roving drumcarders have an extra fine cloth (72 teeth per square inch) and 12:1 ratio.

Louet Classic Drum Carder, fine cloth
 $520.00, plus $25 shipping ($545.00 total) 
  
The Classic Drum Carder is the same model Louët has been delivering for the past 20 years.  The drum is 7.5 inches wide and the Classic has a fine cloth of 46 teeth per square inch. You can easily card wool and other coarse fibers making this is a good multi-purpose carder.

This surface speed ratio is 9:1 for the Classic.

 

Louet Standard Drum Carder, extra fine cloth  
$520.00 plus $25.00 shipping ($545.00 total)

8" wide drum for large carding capacity, enclosed gearbox assures smooth operation.  Extra high, flexible, intermeshing teeth allow for a heavier batt than other drum carders as well as a high carding efficiency. Lifetime warranty.

Choose a extra fine cloth for fine to medium fibers--such as Merino, Corriedale, Cotswold, baby mohair, alpaca, llama, etc.

Louet Elite Drum Carder, extra fine cloth
$645.00 plus $25 shipping, ($670.00 total)
 

NEW The Elite drumcarder has been developed with the new blending techniques in mind. The large drum has an extra fine cloth (72 teeth per square inch) and the small drum, or licker-in, has a special cloth that avoids the build-up of costly fibers. It has two different gear ratios (1:6 and 1:9) and the large feed-tray makes it easier to blend the fibers.
