[Jacob-list] Drum Carder

[Linda]

I hear you on the combs - I have English and Lanicombs. They are great, 
but really hard on your hands after a day of it. I have a Patrick Green 
Supercard and it works great on all the different types of Jacob fleece. 
The loosely crimped, demi-luster type of Jacob is pretty easy to process 
and any good carder should do a good job. My old Clemes and Clemes 
worked well on the looser fleeces, but it was hard to get nepless batts 
on the really elastic fleeces. I checked out a few other carders before 
I bought the SC. I like the Strauch carder.
