Now those are some SERIOUS combs !! and will be the next ones I buy!! THANK YOU so very much for this video ADHUK !!! PS: Your Daffoldils blooming outside your window are BEAUTIFUL !! Smiles to you and yours from the Far North Woods of Minneota, USA.. (where wool clothing is a NEED.. not just for fun.)
Oh no - when I loose a favorite sweater it's a major event in my life. I did patch one of mine with suede at the elbows and while it is now an "around the house" sweater, I can still wear it.
@andypanda758 These are English combs by Peter Teal, he was copying combs he found in a museum with tines over a foot long. He didn't think modern spinners would cope if he copied them exactly so they are a much scaled down version. The length of the tines affect the size of load you can get on there. You should only fill the tines 2/3rds of the way (otherwise when your fibre fluffls out you are likely to loose it off the top). When you are practiced the max load is 40g. Amanda
Aha! My Mum made it for me years ago (hand-spun and hand dyed of course!)But sadly just after I made the video I found it had gone in to holes at the elbows - will have to see if I can patch it, as it is so comfy to wear.
HI I like the deminstration.THANKS .My question is the length of the tines,Yours are very long compared to others.OH I ALMOST FORGET IM A MALE AND IM NEW AT THIS.IM planning to weave all my wool.Thanks nelson.

Glad you like the video! Wool clothing is a need here too sometimes, and especially this last winter!

Enjoyed the video, I love combing fibers. However, I must comment on the lovely sweater you're wearing - ;-)
