I like spinning from the batt and rolag better than spinning from roving

I recently purchased a used Brother standard drum carder. When I try to remove a batt, the weight of the handle causes the drum to roll around so that the handle is in the downward position. Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening so that I can remove the batt smoothly and evenly?

I have a motorized drum carder and the drum DOES NOT stay put at all. I have to find a way to keep the drum from turning as I try and diz the fiber off of the drum.

What is the best TPI for the most variety of wools and And allowing you to add some fantasy (gold thread, thread with sequins)?

I just got a brother drum carder. It was used, so it came already assembled. My handle takes tons of effort to turn--any idea why it doesn't move with ease the way yours does?

Maybe you can help? Just got a Baby Brother Drumcarder today. When I feed in a small amount of fiber it wraps around the licker drum and NOT the main drum. I have to play with the fiber, pulling it off the licker drum and manually putting it on the main drum but even after that, it tends to wrap around the licker. I wondered if the teeth from the licker are too far from the teeth of the main drum? But since I just got it. . . I did not adjust the distance. The instructions say that the distance should be no greater than a credit card width apart, and it should be correct since I just got it. So what is going on?

Does it matter if feed fiber to top of large drum or into feed shute?

What tpi is best for the most variety of fibers

[moonsdancingshadow]

I'm having trouble keeping my roving together as I approach and pass the place where I first break the fiber. Do you have any tips to keep this from happening?

Where can I find the metal funnel shaped tool you are using as a diz?

How far apart should the two drums be?
