The Louët Standard carder is a workhorse. With a width of 7 1/2 inches, batts of up to approx. 80 grams can be carded. Mixing colors and fibers is also easy on these carders.

If you are primarily carding coarser wool or greasy fleece, the 46 tpi is your best option.

The carding cloth is made of nickel-plated steel wire on a bed of cotton and natural rubber, which gives it a long life.

The frame of the carder is made of water resistant birch plywood with a white HPL top layer. The drums are driven by a closed gear system. As a result, the carder requires very little maintenance and this keeps fiber from getting caught up in the gears.

The carder is delivered fully assembled so you can get started right away. Included are: instruction manual, the carding booklet written by Deb Menz, a cleaning brush, a doffer pin and table clamps.

In carders, as a rule, the acceleration between the drums is stated. For the standard carder it is 4:1. However, more important for the effectiveness of the carder is the difference in surface speed between the large and the small drum. To calculate this, multiply the acceleration by the ratio of the diameters of the two drums. For the standard Carder, this speed ratio is 9:1.
