Using Valkyrie Super Fine Combs

Thought I'd do a little demo using my Super Fine Valkyrie combs.
I am using huacaya alpaca from Lagniappe Farm(see link in website list).
You may notice that static starts to form. You can deal with it or
you can lightly mist it with a spray bottle...very lightly...
just enough to tame the static.
  I have attached one of the combs to the table to use stationary like a hackle.
This is just my preference. 
The combing width is 3" and the tines are 3"high.
There are 3 rows of tines with 25 tines across the front.
I am very glad I invested in these, they work maaaaavelously!!
(The comb and hackle in the background is from Blue Mountain Handcrafts)

 


And here are some pictures of the combs.

  1. Thank you so much for this video. Found it via Ravelry and feel like I have a much better grasp on what this process is like!
