They have a case that you can use to secure the combs, but you still have to secure the wooden case to the table with a clamp. I took a class with Patsy Z where she taught us to spin right off the comb. Very cool, unless you suddenly lean down to scratch your ankle ;-)<BR/><BR/>I second Carol's recommendation of the Woodchuck's dizzes. Very cool, lovely wood, although my homemade pvc one probably works as well.Charleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13777340733393515857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-1159872355286137812006-10-03T05:45:00.000-05:002006-10-03T05:45:00.000-05:00Oh My!

I'm far less afraid of them, now.CygKnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645020617293283071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-1159824472982922592006-10-02T16:27:00.000-05:002006-10-02T16:27:00.000-05:00I have Forsyth mini combs and Louet mini combs. I...I have Forsyth mini combs and Louet mini combs. I like the Forsyths a lot, but I'm not crazy about the clamp. The Louet minicombs have "cup hook" inserted in the end of the handle which is very easy to hook onto your belt and pull the top off the comb. One of these days I'll put a hook on the Forsyth handles.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Judith MacKenzie McCuin taught us to draft and spin right off the Forsyth combs....it's quite a slick trick to learn!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-1159808266627996712006-10-02T11:57:00.000-05:002006-10-02T11:57:00.000-05:00I've got Forsyth combs, too, and like them a lot. ...I've got Forsyth combs, too, and like them a lot. They are very sturdy yet portable, and I find the handles comfortable. I have a couple of really nice dizzes (??)that I got from Rod at Woodchuck. Big limpet shells work, too.Spindlers2https://www.blogger.com/profile/18391437211767303805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-1159800527600211292006-10-02T09:48:00.000-05:002006-10-02T09:48:00.000-05:00Thank you for this.

I am more interested in combs than cards, which I have, because I like the worsted wool better, usually. <BR/><BR/>If you get around to it, can you tell me if it is possible to blend fibers with the combs? I was going to resort to cards because I don't know any other way. <BR/><BR/>Pretty wool, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
