Wool Combs - Curly Maple

A lightweight, powerful pair of tools for preparing beautiful fiber — crafted from stunning Curly Maple. Hand crafted from premium highly figured Curly Maple heads with Maple handles, this limited edition matched pair is perfect for straightening fibers, removing debris, and creating smooth, aligned top ready for spinning. At just 6–7 ounces per comb, they're comfortable for extended combing sessions while being built tough enough to handle any fiber type. Every detail gets my attention because attention to detail is my default 🤭.

These are truly special combs. I have only 10 Curly Maple sets available, and when they're gone, they're gone. If you want a truly artistically inspired and completely beautiful fiber tool, these should be in your toolbox. Each pair features highly figured, eye-catching Curly Maple that makes every set unique. The degree of “curly” figure varies between pieces, making each pair one-of-a-kind.

Why Choose Curly Maple Combs?

These are the same high-quality combs I make from Maple, only crafted from highly figured and very eye-catching Curly Maple. The premium wood costs $125 per board foot, which is why each pair is $25 more than standard combs — but the stunning beauty and uniqueness make them worth every penny. Combing fiber can be relaxing and is a great hands-on experience, and doing it with these beautiful tools makes it even more special.

The wood is hand rubbed with an eco-friendly Danish oil using a dip and drip technique that allows the oil to penetrate deeper than standard application, sanded and then repeated until smooth. The heads of the combs are linearly matched for consistent performance. These would not be suitable to comb a living sheep 🐑. Baaa!
