Hi Kate, >Are the handcards and drumcarder a super fine cloth? Cotton needs a very >very fine card cloth to card well.
The handcards are cotton carders from Strauchfiber.com . I believe they are 255 ppi. The drum carder is also a Strauch creation at 128 ppi. I spent more time attempting to drumcard, and I think I may have the drums set too far apart, as I was getting cotton to stay on the Slicker-licker, instead of moving onto the main drum. I did try the wool layer first, followed by cotton, and then more wool, as you suggested - but it still did not blend well. I'm going to have another go with the handcards. -j.
