St Blaise Combs These double row combs are made in a lovely cherry wood. They can be used hand-held or secured in the mount included to easily pull fiber off with a diz, or simply if you wish to comb the fiber from a stationary position as is customary with English combs. These are very solidly made and close up safely when not in use...an important feature! Made here in Vermont and named for the poor Armenian physician and priest murdered by wool combs in 317, the St. Blaise combs weigh approx. 6 oz. each, have 25 tines, set 1/4" on center, in two rows. The tines are polished steel, 3 3/4" high and 3/32" in diameter and finely tapered. The overall working width of the comb is 3". They are designed for a very wide range of fibers (should cover about 90% of all your combing needs) from kid mohair to Navaho churro. The table mount is supplied with the combs and meant to be clamped to a table ( the C-clamps are not included, but available at any hardware store if you don't happen to have a set hanging around the house). Price: $150.00 The photo to the right shows a fabulous diz to accompany your new set of combs! The diz is made of cherry, features a great design for easy holding while you draft your fibers and comes with 3 different size holes for drafting different size top. Price includes a hook to pull the fibers thru to get started: $18 each.
