Wool combs may look like weapons from the middle ages, but they are extremely useful and productive tools for preparing gorgeous, smooth top for spinning. This class will cover the basics of combing on several different styles of combs (English, Viking and Russian), using a variety of different fleeces. You will also learn how to prepare fleece for combing and how to spin the top that you produce. Wool combs will be supplied for use in the class, but if you already have a set, bring them.

Material fee $5.  Bring spinning wheel, wool combs if you already have some.
