I am looking at the box with my new electric Strauch Finest Doublewide carder. The carder with the tray is larger than I imagined, I know they give the dimensions and all, but it appears much larger in person! We will have to get a different table to put it on, I was going to use the kitchen table, but that clearly won’t work.
I have just one small batch of fiber ready to process, the weather has not been cooperating and nothing can dry outside. The small batch I do have (about 1/2 blanket) took 2 days in the back room on the laundry rack and there are still some wet tips. Sunday looks like a good possibility though!
I will post a picture of the carder when we get it set up. I am going to be using it with the alpaca fiber, once I get that figured out I may do some blending.
