A Pair Of Combs

Last week I purchased a pair of combs for my wool preparation. I must say that is it far better than just using a single comb or even a flick carder, and the hand pulled roving/tops is a dream to spin.

The simple process of combing the fibres from one comb to the next makes a nice puff of open fibres, all aligned in the one direction with no short pieces, twigs or grass seeds.

This is the end result of the fleece that I solar dyed last week. My first impression of these combs was why didn't I know about this two years ago! I'm going back to do some more combing because its so easy and fun!

Happy Crafting! :)
