I did not get a doffer with the drum carder so I took the sharpner out of one set of knives we have, it works great to lift up the fibers off of the drum carder.

Then I needed something to take the fiber off with---in the book "Teach Your Self Visually Handspinning" by Judith MacKenzie McCuin, she shows how she uses a dowel with plastic attached to it for the slicker and it works wonderful my DH made one for me right away. Great items and easy to get.
