Designed and handcrafted at our Spokane woodshop with the kind of attention to detail and durability that fiber tools earn over years of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Maple\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaple is the traditional choice for hand-tool handles, and for good reason. The light cream-to-honey color and fine, tight grain make for a clean, classic look that brightens against dark fibers while you work. Hard, dense, and dimensionally stable, maple holds its shape under repeated combing pressure better than softer hardwoods. The pale tone also makes any debris or vegetable matter easy to spot as you sort fleece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are wool combs used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool combs are fiber preparation tools used after washing and picking your fleece, just before spinning. Combing aligns fibers in one direction and removes shorter, neppy bits to create smooth, lustrous combed top. This preparation is ideal for spinning worsted yarns with strength and sheen, and wool combs also make it easy to blend fibers or colors for unique, custom spinning projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these wool combs are the best on the market\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOnly combs featuring true stainless steel tines (won't rust)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eErgonomic handles that fit any size hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight, durable American hardwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in America in our Spokane shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur wool combs were developed with form and function in mind, and we think they have a great balance of both.

The overall working width is 3 Inch. The tines are 3 5\/8 Inch long, with the shorter row being 3 3\/8 Inch long. These hand combs are ideal for opening and loosening fiber to prepare it for carding or further combing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool combs help sort out various staple lengths and remove unwanted debris and vegetable matter trapped in the fibers.
