Using Indigo Hound Combs Pt3

[KrazySteev]

How do you take one and add it to another?

[rexenne]

@KrazySteev Errrr...not sure what you mean. When You are done pulling the roving, what's left on the combs is only suitable for felting crafts as it is the short fibers. You can spin short fibers, but because they are short, they tend to make itchy yarn. The idea behind this is to separate the long, very desirable, fiber from the short & less desirable fiber.

hey your doing a great job--love your sense of humor--one spinner to another great job--never liked combs but i see the fun doing it!

[Gladtobemom]

Great job. A piece of advice. Drill a hole in your table and get an L shaped bolt, a fender washer, and a wing nut. Then you can just go through the hole in the handle and hold it down. My husband also drilled me a second hole in the handle so I can hold it down in two places . . . super solid.

[rexenne]

@Gladtobemom Well I filmed this on a small fold out table. I would normally attach it to the kitchen table. :-)

[theboomersmom]

I love your irreverant attitude towards the fiber arts!! I know a few yahoo group members who would roll over in their graves to hear you LMAO!!!

Keep it up ~ you're talking my language!

[rexenne]

LOL! Let 'em rock-n-roll! Tee-hee!! Thanks for the positive feedback as it is always appriciated and welcomed!

[lsherm]

Wonderful. Thank you.

[rexenne]

You are welcome!

[marlousv]

I like watching your video's. These were so informative, I saw the combs online and I had no idea what they were used for (other that killing someone with it, or maybe use it as a gardening tool). You made it al clear to me, in a very humerous way! Thx!

[rexenne]

Glad to be of help!

[karla1832]

Rexenne, great videos. As a relatively new spinner, etc, living in Scotland, your amusing informative videos really illustrate well things I have only read about or heard people talking about! Keep up the good work!

[rexenne]

Thanks so much for the postive feedback! If anyone is unaware, I am doing a fundraiser to raise the funds to replace a RAM chip in my puter that is crappin out, making it impossible to edit video to upload to youtube. I have two more waiting to be edited! You can find my fundraiser page at rexenne. chipin. com/ new-1gig-ram-chip (take out spaces). I appriciate every little bit that helps!

[shar435]

I love your humor. Thank you for the vids. I have a set of mini combs which I find sufficient for most uses but I was wondering if there was a benefit to getting longer tines or 4 pitch combs. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

[rexenne]

If you have the room for bigger combs and you are comfortable using them, I say go for it. I would think you would be able to comb more at a time with the larger ones. I just didn't have the room for the giant ones.

[mygirlalix]

Brilliant, Rexenne - thank you so much. There's a feature on combs in the latest Spin Off - your vids are the perfect accompaniment. I'm dying to try this; getting my combs in a couple of weeks. Thank You!

[rexenne]

Thanks for the positive feedback as it is always appriciated!

[99kep]

I have to tell you, that you have convinced me to purchase combs instead of carder! I've been watching your video and as a new spinner you provide AWESOME information! Thank you so much and I look forward to more...plus you act like I do, crazy!

[rexenne]

You are welcome and thanks for the positive feedback as it is always appriciated!

[Auntiekackie]

Nother great video!  Thanks so much!

[limesogood]

I feel overly compelled to comment! I love the 'eeks' really just made me laugh like a fool. On to the next video!

[rexenne]

LMAO!! I am glad I made a difference! Thanks for all the positive feedback as it is really appriciated!

[NewtonsMom]

Great Video....You nut!! Thanks so much for the help and the giggle.

[rexenne]

A nut I am-I am! Life would not be fun otherwise. :D

[myredplaid]

thanks Rexenne! I'm sitting here with a bunch of carded wool, wondering what I am suppost to do with it next when I discovered your videos thanks to Amelia, the Bellwether who listed the spinning youtube group on her site. You are very entertaining and educational. Now I am thinking I need a set of combs and a ditz. *sigh*

BTW, listen to Lime and Violet much? *smile*

[rexenne]

Yes I do! I love Lime and Violet! Gee, I wonder why? LMAO!!

[lcritter]

super helpful! thank you so much for doing these videos.

[rexenne]

You are superly welcome my spinnin friend!

[hopeypooze]

awesome video, Rexie. I have never been able to get my head around what combing and dizing looked like. Gonna buy some combs now :-P. Thanks mate!

[rexenne]

You are very welcome! Thanks for the nice comments!

[soobie123]

Great series on how to use combs and a diz! It's really helpful to see someone actually using them. Now I really have to get a set.....

[onaplake]

Thanks for this. I couldn't figure out how to do it. Great videos..thanks for taking the time.

[rexenne]

You are welcome!

[greensofie]

Thanks for a great demo- I've been debating getting combs, watching you work with them in (mostly) real time was very helpful.

[Vykkylou]

Love the "eek"s! I'm a goober...or a raw Newbie at spinning...but thanks to you, now I know what a ditz is for! Excellent video and I'll be watching more!

[kagomeHigurashi11]

Great video!
