Use a dog brush or your hands! For years I did everything with a set of 72 tpi hand cards cause that was all I could afford. You don't need fancy equipment, just get in there!
This is a really cool combination of techniques for fiber preparation! I have more than five pounds of wool locks that need to be combed. I have a box picker I’m using to remove VM. Did you hear about the fire at Paradise Fibers? They lost a lot of inventory. I’m going to film a video about how to help them in a little bit.
It's nice to see a relaxed combing session where it didn't matter where the but end or tip end was for the finished product. I would personally never remember which pass I was on. I might have to give combing a try.
I love how you use your hackle🥰 To reduce my waste I card my leftover (waste) fiber. This also takes out the neps. I just did this pro with soft Shetland. Where did you get your BFL?
I purchased a ton of fleece from fusilier sheep in western Canada. They've apparently pre sold this year's fleeces but I might get a couple mules or north county Cheviot in the spring. I do comb my fibers a few times and then card the rest. I don't give up on anything lol.
Thank you Tasmina for another top quality educational video. I'm learning so, so much
I'm so glad you're finding the videos useful!
this was so calming to watch. BFL is my absolute fave breed. they understand the struggle of going through life with tightly curled hair.
And they totally rock those curls! So glad you enjoyed.
I just love watching you do all this prep. I am new to it all. I bought a Romney fleece, but I don't have combs or brushes yet.

I love your videos. Regards from Norway 😀
Aww thank you! Glad you enjoy!
I really enjoy your channel! Ive learned so much, thank you! ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for watching.
Very good tip about using the length of the hackle to make a longer roving. The BFL looks so lovely and fine. It will make up so nicely.
Thank you! Bfl is my favorite.

Oh no! I didn't hear that. Heartbreaking.

Definitely try it. It makes lovely roving and you shouldn't let strict rules ruin the fun.
Absolutely gorgeous xx
Thank you. It's so soft and silky.
