Title: Woolgatherer Carding Mill

URL: http://thewoolgatherer.com/

Description: "Situated within gazing reach of Mount Shasta in California’s expansive Shasta Valley lies one of the oldest operating carding machines in the country. Built in 1917, this vintage carding machine was originally designed to produce wool yarn. Since yarn cannot be spun with any remnants of vegetable matter, this machine removes more particulates than those normally used to produce batting. Updated and tuned to suit our custom carding operation, Woolgatherer Carding Mill produces some of the finest quality batting in the United States. Several more contemporary production lines round out the full service non-woven capability and textile offerings brought to market by Woolgatherer." -- from website, 2020.12.21
