CARDING AND SPINNING AT THE LOTTOZERO LAB
Carding and spinning allow you to transform raw fibers into custom yarns, exploring texture, twist, and material behavior. In the LZ lab you can prepare fibers with carding tools and spin them using different devices, developing experimental or functional yarns tailored to your projects, from fine threads to sculptural or irregular structures.
ASHFORD DRUM CARDER
Card and blend fibres and colours quickly and efficiently. The controlled intake and carding will produce a smooth even batt ready for blending, spinning or felting. All nylon bearing ensure it is light and easy to turn. The card cloth has wire teeth with a special protective coating and a flexible rubber backing for long life.

ASHFORD MANUAL SPINNING WHEEL
This compact wheel is light weight (5kg/11lb) and portable with folding treadle, built-in lazy Kate and carry handle.
Spin a variety of yarns using the four ratios. The stretchy drive cord does not require any adjustment as you change from one ratio to another and always maintains the correct tension. The wheel and flyer are mounted on ball bearings for effortless spinning. Smooth and quiet with treadles mounted on polyurethane hinges to allow a comfortable heel-toe action.

ASHFORD HAND CARDERS
Hand carders are used to prepare and blend fibers in the traditional way, producing small rolags for spinning. They allow you to control texture, color, and consistency. They can also be used to brush and raise the surface of knitted fabrics, creating soft, fuzzy effects and enhancing volume and tactility.

HILO SPINNING MACHINE
The electric spinning machine can be used to produce customized yarn, you can program the yarn's properties directly on the machine.
The spinning machine can be used to spin small quantities of fibres, such as local wool, regional materials or even recycled fibres. Existing yarns can be twisted into new designs and integrate new functions, such as elasticity through overtwist. Yarn samples can be developed rapidly to test different qualities for new designs and business opportunities.

WINDING MACHINE
This winding machine is used to rewind yarn from cones, bobbins, or spools, ensuring even tension and consistent winding. It allows you to prepare yarns for weaving, knitting, or further processing, organizing them into neat, stable yarn cones. Ideal for studio workflows, it supports both functional preparation and experimental handling of yarns with different thicknesses and materials.
