Hi! I am selling most of my large equipment in order to downsize and focus on my long term vision of my work in the sheep and fiber community.

I purchased this equipment from Lynn and Jim Snell in 2024 and it has remained in place as I’ve been renting the building from them. All equipment is in good condition, the previous owners have advised and assisted me on maintenance, etc. Additionally there are a LOT of tools, a belt lacer and extra belt yardage, extra parts for most machines including (Especially!) the carder, wool and bamboo fibers for blending, 30+ Spools for the spinners, 16 cans for roving, a custom batt drum that makes 48” batts and did I mention tools?

I am asking $165,000 for all pieces. I am currently not selling parts and pieces, however I am open to selling my Davis and Furber carder separately if you are interested. Please do not ask to buy just the spinners. They will miss their friends; cone winder, draw frame and skein winder.

You can contact me via email: jo@altitudefleeceandfiber.com or call/text me at 256.345.3187


Nervous to buy because you need help setting up and getting some training?

Jim Snell is the best in the biz. He is full of information, and available to fly to your location, help you set up and train you on your new equipment. If you are interested, shoot me an e mail and I will put you in touch with him to work out the details

Also I have a bead on a fully refurbished and painted Warner and Swasey Model M-3680, double head, 72 working combs —36 top and bottom 36 bottom each side— roving deck and counter with 2 can coilers and creel. Jim and Lynn have converted it to a 220 single phase (vs standard 3 phase) with a VFD speed control and new 3 hp motor.
