I'd been cleaning mine out religiously, getting out every strand, but apparently it's better full. The friend who (owns an Inwood Smith like yours) does this cards mainly white angora fleece. Maybe worth a try? Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3780040711735354443.post-62716017468664579812009-04-10T09:13:00.000+09:302009-04-10T09:13:00.000+09:30Hi Juliana! Thanks for the lovely comments. Anothe...Hi Juliana! Thanks for the lovely comments. Another Ameraussie (that's my favorite)! Fantastic! We could swap many stories and discuss how badly I miss Reese's peanut butter cups and drive thru banking, but we'll save that for another day :). I did try out an Ashford drum carder. To be fair, it was an older model a friend had rented from her guild, which means it had seen better days. Consequently, I didn't find much joy there, although it was interesting as it was my first carding experience. A new one however, might have been a whole different kettle of fish. <BR/>However, I did do some research, and asked those who had Inwood-Smiths what they thought, and each and every one was pleased with theirs. I know I'm very happy with mine, but I'm an amatuer carder at best. I liked the fact that the Inwood Smith was made in Australia, and I liked that it was, essentially, handcrafted. As a crafter, that appealed to me in that special way only we understand. Having said all that, I do hear good things about the new Ashfords too, so I'm sure that either would be great. <BR/><BR/>Great hearing from you. Please do stay in touch!
