It's wonderful to watch someone with so much skill work. You make all of this look so smooth and easy, which is reassuring for a novice spinner like myself.

Thanks for the nice comments, and glad you found the clips useful. I have had years of practice, but when I teach combing most people pick it up and become quite proficient fairly quickly

Thank-you for the the wonder vids. I'm getting a set of combs from the Martin Hills who bought Peter Teal design for Christmas and I'm really happy to see such clear directions and demoing.

Amanda, thank you so much for these videos! I purchased a set of combs several years ago, but have been completely intimidated by them and afraid to use them. Your clear instructions, excellent video, and soothing voice have made me so confident I'm going to try my hand at them tomorrow!
I do have one question though; are combs appropriate for alpaca? Or is carding more suitable? (I'm also intimidated by those!)
Thank you again for the lovely videos and instruction!

@Cherizac Pleased to hear I could be of help!
I did once manage to comb a very long suri alpaca fleece, the results on that were very good, haven't actually tried combing the Huayac.... oh well you know - the fluffier sort! It should work OK. You probably have to consider what you want the yarn for. Combing will take out all the short fibres and noils and give you a very smooth lustrous yarn, with alpaca unless it is spun very fine this could give a heavy yarn.

@Cherizac Carding on the other hand (providing your fibes aren't too long - they don't want to hang more than and inch or two over the front edge of the cards) will give you a lighter airy yarn, but it won't be as smooth and lustrous. The best advice is to try it both ways and see which you like the best, and which suits what you want to make from the yarn.
Hope this helps!
