Description
Drum carders come in two flavors: manual and electric. Manual drum carders are powered by you turning the hand crank and producing a carded batt. Electric or motorized drum carders are powered by electricity. The motor turns the drums, allowing the cardee more freedom during the carding process. Each has its own set of pros and cons, and choosing the right drum carder for you is as personal as choosing a spinning wheel. This article explores safety, pros and cons of both electric and manual drum carders, and a list of current electric drum carders on the market.
