I've been thinking about getting combs to replace my old carders. You've pretty much ended the internal debate with your clear demonstration. I gotta have a pair of combs! Thank you.
I have just started learning to spin and was wondering where the roving i was using came from. this video answered every question i had AND showed me what i needed to know if i want to go from sheep to sweater! thank you for posting this!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much. I'm working on a final project for a history class-- I chose to compare early modern wool working to modern. I've never had to use combs before so I appreciate the instruction!
This was SO SO SO cool! Thank you! I'm going to head to search your collection for how to wash and prepare the fiber, as I was gifted some Yorkshire llama fiber that has not been processed at all.
Hi Thanks for the video it will help me when I show the lady's at the weavers ,spinners and chef's how to use the combs. I've only tried them once before and wanted to see the best way to use them. Thanks again I shall point out your videos to the lady's also so that they can also learn from you. Have subscribed and looking forward to learning more Sheila
Very helpful video. Thank you. I'm brand new at this. Can you do a video on the difference between carding and combing? I'm trying to figure out if I need to do both.
Thank you for this. This was a great refresher for me. Nearly 30 years ago(!) I took a class with Celia Quinn, and bought a gorgeous set of 5 pitch Meck English combs. I want to use them again, and your video was the perfect reminder of the motions etc.
Huge thank you for your clear demonstration on using combs. I am a new spinner and new to fleece preparation so I am desperate for information! I've managed to make a small pile of candyfloss Portland fleece, am delighted!
Yes, they can be used in that way -- and for things like felting, making dryer balls, and, as you say, stuffing. Birds love them, too, at nest-making time! It's definitely not waste. At worst, it can go into the compost heap and replenish the soil. 😀
Greetings from Norway! Thank you for these nice demonstrations, I'm now on a mission to make a couple of wool combs myself!

Wow great teaching!! Thank you from Maine!
Very helpful, thorough explanation. I really like your step-by-step teaching. Combs have been tricky for me and this should help!

Great demo! These are the kind of combs I have and have never used. NOW I WILL! Thank you so much for the very clesr demo.
Thanks for the detailed instructions! This was super useful ☺️
Thank you that was so helpful. I recently purchased combs and just wasn’t quite sure how to use them. I now feel fully confident using them :)

You are a great teacher. Thanks for this video. I will have to watch more of you..

This was exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you for posting clear instructions!

I'm glad you found it helpful
Thanks for a great video on how to use combs. I have some Lincoln wool that I’ve wanted to comb and now I know how.
Learned a LOT: thank you! Love your presentation and style.
Awesome, thank you! so glad you learned from it :-D
Good video! Thank you😊
Thanks for the demonstration. You explained a lot. Now I can use my combs.

look at this, ma'am th-cam.com/video/8p6KwPFH6y0/w-d-xo.html
Excellent ❤
Love your instructional style, would love to see more. Hackle?
You make it look so easy 😅❤
This is excellent. Thank you.
Amazing video!
You are a great teacher. I hope you do more videos.
Thank you for a great video. And you are adorable. So pretty and sweet.
So you don’t pick the fiber first? That’s where I went wrong
Can the fuzzy leftovers be carded into rolags? Or are they more for stuffing ?
Yes, they can be used in that way -- and for things like felting, making dryer balls, and, as you say, stuffing. Birds love them, too, at nest-making time! It's definitely not waste. At worst, it can go into the compost heap and replenish the soil. 😀
Does this method work with finer, more slippery fiber like alpaca?
I need the stand. My combs did not come with one.
