Straightening and aligning fibers, ridding fleece of vegetable and other loose matter and debris, separating and opening up fiber for carding, and loosening up the fiber for carding and eventually spinning.

The wood is hand rubbed with an eco-friendly Danish oil, sanded and then repeated until smooth. The heads of the combs are linearly matched or book matched, depending on availability. These would not be suitable to comb a living sheep 🐑. Baaa!
