Schacht Curved Hand Carders

Schacht has built a lifetime of service into their hand carders. They have a small lip milled into the rear edge of the paddle to protect the card cloth from becoming worn, and the handles have been precisely tenoned into the paddles for superior strength.

The wool carders are available in three gauges of carding cloth: 72 points per square inch (an all-purpose carding cloth), and 112 points per square inch (great for very fine wool and downy fibers), and 208 points per square inch for very short fine fibers like cotton. Area of carding cloth for 72ppi and 108ppi carders is 7.75 inches by 5 inches, and 10.5 inches by 3.5 inches for the 208ppi carders.
