The wool combs are entirely handmade in small batches--even the tines are cut to length and ground to points by hand--so what is available at any given time will vary. My Dad, Emile (Emmy) Nolet, makes the combs, diz and threaders that I sell. He has been a woodworker for over 35 years and still manages to wow me with his work :-) Combs are stamped with "EMMY" and the date finished.
Combs and accessories are designed by both of us. Design sessions usually happen at the coffee shop in a local mall. We do our best to combine our talents to create products with the best possible blend of durability and functionality.
Our new combs can be packed flat for the ultimate in portability!
Currently only available in Walnut or Apple
Please let me know which wood you'd like your combs to be.
Our introductory package comes complete with:
~ one pair of Pack Flat Combs in your choice of woods: walnut, red oak, cherry, or apple
~ pine press-fit tine covers
~ clamp
Pack flat combs have removable handles for easy storage & portability. A dovetail joint provides a secure fit between head & handle when assembled. They have been designed with flat handles so that they can be easily clamped to a table for those times you need an extra hand. Flat handles eliminate the need for a table clamp--any C-style clamp will do--and reduce slippage both when clamped and when used in the hand giving better control.
They are 2 pitch (double row) combs and the tine area is approx. 3 1/4" wide with 4" long stainless steel tines. Each comb weighs approximately 6 oz. When packed flat the set is only 10" long, 6 1/2" wide, 2" thick, and weighs 1 1/4 lb, or less than a pound if you leave the clamp at home!
These combs have been designed primarily for handheld use and portability. We've tried to strike a balance between being as lightweight as possible and still being able to process a good amount of fibre at a time. They have been designed with flat handles so that they can be easily clamped to a table for those times you need an extra hand. Flat handles eliminate the need for a table clamp--any C-style clamp will do--and reduce slippage both when clamped and when used in the hand giving better control.
All Handheld Wool Combs come with pine
press-fit tine protectors as shown in the bottom picture and a
2" clamp.
