Today I took my new Clemes and Clemes Mini Drum Carder for a test drive. Yup, another Fiber tool. I ordered the wee thing in August and was hopeful for a February delivery (there is a long backorder list). Instead I received the Mini just before Christmas. Hohoho.

The Mini's carding cloth is only 4" wide instead of the usual 8" width. It weighs a mere 16 lbs, I can carry it with one hand. The small size is wonderful.
Today I tested it with Jacob wool locks that I had scoured (washed) over two years ago.
First I opened up the locks with the Lock Pop, another Clemes and Clemes fiber tool.
Just a little bit of fiber was carded, just enough to make a wee bit of roving.
Wonderful. Happy New Year Everyone!
