By popular demand, Strauch has now developed a motorized series of chain drive drum carders. Available motorized is the "405" "Finest", the "405x2" "Finest-doublewide".

Note: the Petite cannot be motorized because it is a light duty machine and not constructed to withstand the stresses imparted by the motor.

St. Blaise Double Row Wool Combs

Made from cherry. The combs weigh approximately 6 ounces each and each comb has 25 tines set ¼" on center in two rows.

We used to use, sell and support "VALKARYIE" "mini" combs until a few years ago when the company just disappeared without any warning. They were larger than the Louet or Majacraft mini combs. . . but not as heavy or as hard on the wrists as full-sized 'Viking' combs. When they disappeared they left a hole in the marketplace. . . until now! These St. Blaise combs fill that gap!

St. Blaise Double Row Wool Combs w/ Table Mount - also used as a comb storage mount.

The set consists of a pair of combs, the optional table mount/pad device, a curved wood diz and a 'pull' (threader) for the diz. All items are made from cherry.

Kromski Spinners Stool

Brass Diz from Majacraft

This beautifully finished unbreakable polished brass diz has three hole sizes - 1.5mm, 3mm, for fine through to coarse wools, and a 5mm for color blending.

The Majacraft diz is made in brass and has the holes cut with high pressure water. There are no burrs at all so the fibre will never catch and the brass has a low coefficient of friction so the fibre flows smoothly. The holes are very accurate so you can be sure your work will be precise.

The diz acts as a former to make a constant thickness sliver from carded or combed wool, while aligning fibres longitudinally. An essential for worsted spinning, and since it aligns the fibre, can be used to revitalize an old fleece or to blend different wools.
