Mini Wool Comb 3 Row Ultra Fine

$115.00

Our tines in the ultra fine headsets are only 1.2mm apart, which is suitable for the finest of fibres. This is the closest distance between the tines that you can get in Australia.

Description

Our Ultrafine mini combset has 3 rows of tines. This comb has been specifically designed for fleeces which are less than 18 micron. The ultra fine spacing between the tines make them also suitable for short fibres.

The headsets are aluminium and the tines are precision machined from stainless steel. The first row has 12 x 2.2mm tines set 1.2mm apart and the working area is 4 cm wide and 6.5 cm high.

The timber we use is recycled Blackwood and is sourced from a local mill.

There are optional interchangeable headsets available in 2 row fine.

You can process mid range fibres on this comb set, you just can’t do as much due to resistance. Combing overly long or coarser fibres on this comb set is not very successful due to their shorter tine height and tine spacing.

Combing removes the vegetable matter, second cuts etc by trapping it behind or between the tines. Combed fibres are aligned parallel to make a smooth worsted or semi worsted yarn.

Combs are a perfect way to blend colours and texture. They can be used on their own or with a blending hackle. You have total control over the amount of colour and the proportion of each that are going to work in your roving.
