I tell people it is like a sponge, the fiber just melts into the carder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are working with texture, 46 TPI prevents all your effects like nepps, noil, threads, and texture blends from getting stuck and floating on the top of the teeth of the carder and getting damaged. Some fiber artists work around this by \"packing\" their drum carder with a brush (pressing the fibers down into the teeth) which is a work-around - but I would rather work with a tool that doesn't need me to force it to do what I want it to do. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto@ashley@neauveau.com\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Louet Carder Consultation\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEmail me\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to discuss your fiber, blending goals, and budget, and I’ll help you determine which Louët drum carder and accessories will best suit your needs.
