Viking Combs, Single-row by Indigo Hound
Designed after an ancient European set of comb fragments, Indigo Hound Viking combs fit the needs of today's spinners. Their long, single row teeth are suitable for most fleeces, especially those with relatively long, coarse staples like Romneys. The double row viking combs have two rows of offset tines. This arrangement of tines holds back more of the shorter fibers and loosens more chaff so that the resulting top is cleaner and more uniform. The wood is maple, the tines are stainless steel. Both come in pairs, and with an instruction booklet. Picture shows single-row version. These combs can have a lengthy back order time-frame.
