Frequently Asked Questions — Fine Tooth Wool Combs

Fine tooth wool combs are optimized for fibers under 25 microns — merino, cashmere, qiviut, fine BFL, and silk blends. The closer tine spacing fully aligns delicate fibers without breakage, producing a smooth, lustrous preparation.

Wool combs are hand-held and worked in pairs — fiber is loaded onto one comb and transferred to the other to align and remove short fibers. Hackles are stationary tools better suited for drawing a continuous top from larger quantities of fiber.

Absolutely — fine tooth combs are ideal for blending precious fibers like merino and silk, cashmere and qiviut, or fine wool and alpaca. Work the fibers through together for a smooth, evenly blended preparation.

Keep tines clean and free of fiber buildup after each use. A light application of camellia or mineral oil on the wood base periodically will protect the finish. Always store with tine covers to protect both the tips and your hands.
