Not Bad for Afternoon Work....
I have been wanting a wool picker for a while. I have been given/bought several bags of unprocessed fiber to play with... alpaca and llama. In order to spin fibers, usually you need to: 1. Pick it to open up the fiber getting rid of the all the little clumps and mats and hopefully get rid of all the small pieces of litter contained in the fleece. 2. Card it to get all the fibers aligned so you can draft it when spinning. Alas a wool picker has been financially out of my grasp... till today. Got the ok from hubby to go buy materials. Most people would maybe (oh I don't know) draw out a design prior to going to Lowes. But no, I take my trusty tape measure and jump right in. My picker is, for the most part, a Medival box full of nails, with a additional set of spikes attached to a slider.
