Combing

One or two rows of curved tines.

Can be used one against the other (one in each hand), or with one mounted on a base (fastened to a table or some other object).

Two or more rows of straight tines.

One comb must be mounted in clamp to a table, and the other is worked against it to transfer fiber from the stationary comb to the moving one.

significantly smaller and lighter than English combs.

Designed for hand use with small amounts of fiber.

Diz

For pulling combed fiber off in a nice, continuous stream.

Any concave object with a hole in the center will do.

The size of the hole will determine the diameter of your stream of fiber.

Doffer

To help peel carded wool off drum of drum carder.

Or, you can spin right from the comb. This is mostly done in Eastern Europe from paddle shaped combs.

Heck, you can spin right from the lock if you want!

You don’t even have to wash it first, if you like to work “in the grease”.

You have complete control.

That’s the beauty of it.
