Good News

If you, like me, have looked at the prices of wool combs and almost fainted, there is a cheaper way.

I posted about using plastic combs last time, but if you want a proper comb with metal nails etc, try looking for equipment for re-enaction.

I picked up a set of replica Saxon/viking (well the design is pretty much the same for all cultures) for £30 on Ebay.

Here they are:

 They work a treat. Just as good as the more expensive modern ones with curved nails.

The yarn on the spindolyn has been spun from wool that I combed with those combs.
