Strauch Drum Carders

Motorized single and double wide carders in stock . . .

These motorized versions of the Finest 405 series drum carders are "high tech" carders with infinitely variable speed and reversibility features. The "true variable speed" feature (not just two or three speed settings) is just the ticket for working with fine fibers like alpaca, merino and cashmere.
