Demonstrating my 3D printed mini wool combs with unwashed alpaca -Drafting combed fibre off a hackle
This video accompanies a blog post I wrote about how to make these mini wool combs. You can read how to make them here - https://www.craftmehappy.com/2021/12/... The handles are 3D printed and the spikes are made out of onion slicers or onion holders. I designed them for combing alpaca, but they also work really well for blending small quantities of different colours of merino fibre together. I show how I comb the fibres, but I also show how I transfer the combed fibres directly onto my hackle so that I can pull 10 or more comb-fulls off to make one long pulled top or roving.
