| Home : Spinning How-To : Combing Wool |
by Diane de Arden
Rather than instructions, this is going to be tips and warnings.
Warnings:
Make sure that the tines of the woolcombs are always pointing away from you.
Having up to date tetnus shots would be a good idea.
Don't comb wet wool. It will damage the wool.
Tips:
The wool needs to be well scoured.
If lanolin left on the wool is making it difficult to comb you can try leaving the wool in the sunlight to heat then comb it while still warm.
Load the comb half way at most because the wool will fluff out.
