  • Follow along while I use the swing picker and drum carder to make roving.
    To purchase a spinner's multitool, visit our Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/thefibersprite
    Also available on Amazon www.etsy.com/shop/thefibersprite
    Drum carder is the Elite Convertible by Clemes & Clemes clemes.com/product/elite-conv...
    I am cleaning the drumcarder with a hairbrush cleaner. You can find it here: amzn.to/45Qm5Gm
    Swing picker is handmade. You can find plans online or purchase one from a number of woodworkers.
    For a more detailed explanation of how to use a diz, be sure to check out • Using the Fiber Sprite...

    Perhaps I missed it but what type of fiber are you preparing?
    Love how relaxing this video is btw - really nice and informative 😊

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  2 года назад +2

      Thanks! The fiber is wool, and it was marketed to me as Romeldale, but it's a little coarser, and I suspect it might be crossed with Corriedale.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  3 года назад

      Thanks! I bought mine used at a fiber festival. I have seen them listed on Etsy and Ebay. Some online fiber stores like the Woolery also carry swing pickers.

    May I ask what drum carder this is? I’m thinking about getting one for my felting projects. Lovely video.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  3 года назад +1

      Hi! This is a Clemes & Clemes carder. I really like it for its smoothness - other carders I have tried are much noisier and difficult to crank. Mine didn't come cheap, but I do feel like it was worth every penny!

    • @pamelaschultz2990
      @pamelaschultz2990 3 года назад

      Hi, these items are not sold as a set. The drum carder is made by Clemes and Clemes, and cost approximately $1,300. The diz is made by me and costs between $16-20. It is available at www.etsy.com/shop/thefibersprite. The swing picker was purchased used, but similar ones can be found on the Internet for between $300-$900. Prices do not include shipping. Thank you!

    Hi! How I can order this fantastic fiber sprite? I live in Finland, spin yard of My own alpacas.

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  Год назад +1

      Hi, our multitools are available in the US on Etsy and Amazon. We generally don't ship internationally, since the cost of postage is as high as the tool. If you have several friends who would like to put in an order together to offset the cost of shipping, you can message us on Etsy and we'll see how we can help you. The drum carder is made by Clemes & Clemes out of California, although there are other drum carders on the market. Louet makes one that might be easier to get in Europe. The swing picker is homemade. You can find plans to build one yourself. I have also seen them for sale on Ebay from time to time. Happy spinning!

    If I missed it I am sorry. I am interested in that blue handled tool that can pull wool out of the cloth. Can you tell me it’s name please? TYVM

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  8 месяцев назад

      Hi, it is a hairbrush cleaner. You can find it here: amzn.to/45Qm5Gm

    • @johnstefanick2167
      @johnstefanick2167 8 месяцев назад +2

      Perfect! Thank you. I am rebuilding a motorized drum carder for my wife. I feel that tool will help when we change fibers to eliminate cross contamination. Sometimes the wool is to be purely one type.

      You’re welcome! Yes, the tool works really well to clean the drum between projects. It’s well worth it!

    • @theFiberSprite
      @theFiberSprite  7 месяцев назад

      This is purchased from Clemes and Clemes in California, USA. It's called a drum carder and Louet makes one that might be more readily available in Europe.

      You can often find swing pickers on eBay. Mine was handmade with wood and nails, so that’s also an option. The drum carder I purchased through Clemes and Clemes.
