Description: We employ literally thousands of tools and devices in our daily routine that are made safer and more efficient by technology; using an electric drum carder, electric spinner, or electric bobbin winder is no more cheating than using an electric mixer in the kitchen or a gas-powered lawn mower in your yard. In the case of drum carders, shifting from hand crank to electric drive not only makes the operator more efficient, it also produces a more consistent batt, and – when designed and used properly – is just as safe as hand cranking. This article covers safety, organizing, first passes, subsequent passes, and using a diz to remove the fiber.
