Lock Pop
$138.00 Add to cartThe Lock Pop is both a versatile stand alone fiber preparation tool and a great tool to pop open a lock before carding or combing. By popping a lock up and down a few times on the teeth, then pulling it through the teeth of the Lock Pop, the lock will often be spinnable as is, and will be ready for hand cards, a drum carder, blending board, hackle, or combs. Each Lock Pop comes with Free Shipping in the U.S.
Designed with speed and efficiency in mind, the Lock Pop functions equally well as a standalone tool and as an opener before carding or combing. The Lock Pop excels at:
- Loosening tight tips
- Removing vegetable matter
- Quickly preparing fleece for spinning from the lock
- Separating dual coated fleece
- Opening slightly matted or felted fibers

Drum Carders
Burnishing Brush
$79.00 Add to cartOur burnishing brush allows the user to create a 50% larger batt. The straight metal teeth of this brush hone the teeth of the drum carder while packing the thickest batts possible. Bigger, thicker batts mean stopping less often to doff, leaving more time for carding and spinning. Batts that are packed with a brush tend to release from the card cloth easier than those that are not packed – leaving less fibers behind to clean and your batt intact.

Cleaning Brush
$48.00 Add to cartSimilar to a flicker but with longer teeth, our Cleaning Brush reaches the bottom of the card cloth when cleaning a Blending Board or Drum Carder. We recommend cleaning with a Cleaning Brush when switching colors or fibers and after each use. Unlike a flicker, the length and geometry of the carding cloth on the Cleaning Brush do not work well for flicking open locks of fiber.
