Hi June,
I had the same thing happen with a new drum carder.  The first 2 or 3 bats
were light gray instead of white.  I went ahead and spun and plied the Tunis
wool and washed the skein.  It came out perfectly white.  After that there
were no more metal particles.  I think the wool will clean your carders for
you.
