The drum carder shown below produces batts of carded wool, which can then be spun or felted. With its feed tray and rotating drums covered in carding cloth, it saves a lot of time compared to hand-carding.
You can feed several colors of locks at a time to custom-blend colors. The knitted yarns in the backdrop were blended on a drum carder.

| Green batt on left came from yellow and blue locks. Green knitting in background came from such mixing. |
