I sit at my desk at the clinic for six hours a day; often, during the middle of the day, you can find me drawing a new idea on a scrap of paper. I enjoy making projects and fixing things around the house. I don't often sit still, rarely watch TV unless it's PBS and love a new challenge!

- meralgia commented on meralgia's instructable $50 Drum Carder (for combing fibers)2 years agoView Instructable »
Hi! Thanks for asking. I have since sold the carder and upgraded to a "real" carder. I do quite a bit of pet fur spinning, and although the DIY carder worked pretty well, I need something more professional for the volume that I tackle. I would still recommend the project for folks who occasionally card fiber, but if you have any volume of carding to be done, it's best to purchase a more professional carding machine instead.
How long is the fur? Do you want it spun as pure fur or a blend with wool? Do you know what type of yarn from it is envisaged, or is it more a case of being spun for what it is/as it comes and deciding what best to do with it after?
