Wed Guild meeting - Combing wool

As long as the weather is fine and the roads are good, Karen Braun will be coming to share her knowledge on using wool combs. Combing wool gives you the most beautiful locks and roving to spin. If you haven't tried it, you must. You will love it. You may even become addicted to it. Just warning you. If you have some wool fleece (locks 3 inch or longer works best) bring it. Bring wool combs or flickers and a very small crochet hook and a diz (or a button with a hole that the crochet hook can fit through) if you have them. We will also have some available for sharing.
