Clemes & Clemes Inc.      
 American Made Spinning Products since 1970

Our hand carders are designed to combine comfort and function in a most necessary tool for the hand spinner. We use a maple turned handle that provides a comfortable grip for both small and large hands. The handle is tenoned into an alder wood back, either curved or flat, to ensure long life. The teeth are set in a strong yet flexible backing to provide many years of use. We regularly hear from customers who purchased their carders in the 1970's and are still using them on a regular basis.

Wool Carders

Our wool carders have 72 points per square inch and are an excellent all purpose carder for carding any type of wool. The wooden backs measure 8" x 4 5/8". They are available curved or flat with most spinners preferring the curved back carders. They are also available in a smaller size for travelers or children.

Cotton Carders

The cotton carders have 108 points per square inch and are designed to card cotton or any of the finer fibers such as angora or cashmere. The wooden backs measure 10 1/2" x 3 5/8". They are available curved or flat with most spinners preferring the curved back carders. They are also available in a smaller size for travelers or children with the backs measuring 5 5/8" x 3 5/8".

Flickers

The flicker is used as a quick way to open a lock of wool either for spinning or preparing the wool for carding. These have a turned maple handle tenoned into an alder curved back just like our carders. They have 72 points per inch. 
The back measures 2 5/8" x 4 5/8".
