TRYING NEW TECHNIQUES--Combing fleece




The spray bottle keeps down static. At first I used just water but then I found a recipe for combing milk & I will try that with my next fleece.

Combed & split evenly between the 2 combs, ready for the diz. Pulling the long fibers thru the diz creates a sliver of parallel fibers that can be spun easily. They get wound up into birds nests for easy handling & spinning.

I jumped right in & started combing fiber right away with my freshly prepared BFL fleece. The comb here is loaded with washed fiber ready to be combed with my Alvin Ramer Super Mini Combs.
