The item is fine, but it took 2.5 months to receive it
This is EVERYTHING! I got the 72 TPI and it came today! I was so nervous to do such a high ticket price online, but this was a great experience. Not only did it arrive 2 days earlier than anticipated, it was super easy to jump right in and start carding! I started carding with dog brushes (hey, ya gotta start somewhere!) and now that I have this Im NEVER going back!
I saw cheaper drum carders but if I added up the price for the additional packer brush, cleaning brush, clamps, and doffer, I would have paid even more and this is a higher quality carder. It comes assembled..all I had to put on was the handle. It comes with all the items mentioned and is ready to use. I read all reviews on drum careers and Ashford got great feedback from users. I am very happy with this purchase. I am new to working with wool, but this is so easy to use, I felt like a pro.
Love it !!! Made the work feel like fun !
I was overall very happy with my purchase. I received it on time and in tact.
