We also carry Howard Brush Hand Cards! These BEAUTIFULLY crafted handcards are the finest handcards I've ever used. - Laurie at The Lavender Fleece

All of our products are handcrafted in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Our Hand Cards are manufactured to the exact specifications developed by the founders of the Howard Brothers Company in 1866. Each hand card is formed using select woods, with a gently curved compromise between flat and strongly curved cards, allowing for both styles of carding action. The handles are ergonomically designed to shape and fit, easy to orient, sturdily attached to the carder back and finished with a warm hand-rubbed sheen. These traditionally made hand cards are offered in 3 sizes: Standard, Student and Mini, and in 5 densities from 54 TPI to 190 TPI for the fiberarts community.

Our goal is to offer quality hand card tools and drum carding cloth at a reasonable price to keep the craft of spinning affordable. By doing so we are quickly becoming the supplier of choice for the fiberarts community.

Howard Brush Hand Card recrafting is unique among other manufacturers in the fiber arts and hand spinning community. For a nominal fee, our repair and rejuvenation service puts your cards through the same process used in their original construction. The card cloth pad is carefully removed, measured precisely (wire field area, TPI, projection of the tooth and knee) and they are restored as nearly as possible to their original hand-crafted condition. Few others offer such a complete Recrafting.

You are wonderful to tell me the history of the carders I just received back from Howard today and found beautifully revitalized. - Elizabeth M., in MA - A Very Happy Howard Customer

I love the hand carders. They have nice large combing surfaces and are just beautiful. The logo is so nice and the wood and its finish are very nice too. I have used very curved cards by other manufacturers and find that I accomplish more with each stroke using your carders. - Elizabeth
