Comments from Elizabeth:
If you have a drum carder and want to card washed wool or mohair locks you will need to open up the locks before you can put it into the carder. You can do this by hand but will find this tedious in no time. If your wool or mohair includes small pieces of vegetation or second cuts, putting it through the picker will help remove.
If you don’t have a drum carder you will find you can spin “picked fibers” into some pretty cool textured yarns. Sometimes less processing results in more interesting yarns.
Swinging wool pickers will open up wool and mohair locks easy and quick and is the best tool for this process. If you ever used a Patrick Green Triple Picker (no longer being manufactured) This Wool Picker is similar but the Brother has upgraded to Stainless Steel upper cradle arms and shaft and has more pins. (more picking power)
I have tested this picker on Suri Alpaca, Mohair and Wool. It does an excellent job with little work.
Be sure to review Picker Details from Brother:
This is the perfect fiber-preparation tool to tease, open and blend fibers to prepare them for carding. Carding unteased fibers can damage both the fibers and the carder teeth.
Infinitely faster and more thorough than hand teasing.
Impressive density of picker teeth - over 620.
Effortless, swinging on sealed ball bearings.
Picked fibers often spinnable without carding.
Sturdy and attractive Oak frame.
Shipped fully assembled.
Size 24" long, 24" high, 12" wide, weight 28 lbs.
Table clamps for stability while using.
Full directions for use.
Security locking device, with padlock supplied.
Now with Stainless steel upper cradle arms and shaft.
Picker can be very dangerous and must be treated with respect.
Our points are ground, polished and hardened to maintain their sharpness. Do treat these points with respect, and please don't ask us to sell our picker to you unless you are a responsible individual who will ensure its safe use and locked storage.
Due to the nature of the picker, we have added a positive lock on the swinging cradle- not only to allow the machine to be carried in safety, but also to be padlocked to protect children or unauthorized people from playing with it and doing themselves an injury. It must be treated with great caution. We supply a small padlock to lock the machine when it is not in use.
It is your responsibility to NOT use the machine when children are around, and to prevent others from becoming injured. Treat it with the same respect you give a power lawnmower or a sharp knife.
We cannot accept any responsibility for any damage or injury attributed to the wool picker. For Safety, we recommend close-fitting leather leather gloves and our Picker Claw.

Although Artfelt paper looks just like interfacing that dissolves in water, artfelt® Paper is quite different. This paper was specifically designed for this method of felting and is the only “dissolving” product available that will ONLY dissolve with boiling water, not simply water. This is very important distinction, as your piece needs to be wet to felt.
Measurements are approximate
Scarf size paper includes plastic sheet. 10 foot x 5 foot paper does not.

Reverse Barb The barbs go the opposite direction which results in fiber being pulled out. This is useful to create a fluffy finish on well felted pieces.
Gauge: Triangular Coarse 32
Barbs on 3 sides. This is a sturdy needle good for working with course fibres and firmly attaching pieces. Not good for detail or a neat surface.
Gauge: Triangular medium 36
Barbs on 3 sides. A good needle for making the bulk of a 3D piece and again, attaching pieces well. Not good for any detail work.
Felting Molds: The Needle Felting Applique Molds can be used directly to your project or worked onto the mat to be joined for 3-Dimensional design and applique.

Great for Hand Dyed Fabrics and Yarns.
Synthrapol is a special detergent used to remove unattached excess dye from hand dyed fabrics. It also removes sizing from fabric prior to dyeing. It will allow even color when used in the dye bath.
Prewashing in Synthrapol helps remove impurities that can interfere with the dye and cause uneven dyeing.
Synthrapol as the afterwash keeps loose dye particles of dye in suspension so they don't stain other areas of the fabric or bleed.
(2 oz) of Synthrapol per full washing machine load for standard fabrics like cotton or rayon and 1/8 cup (1 oz) for finer fabrics like silk.

Ideas for Use:
- Separate into individual groups of color.
- Spinning - Open the fiber out and spin a soft single thread. Ply with a fine cotton, silk or commercial woolen thread to strengthen the yarn for knitting. The fine thread will be almost hidden in the yarn and won't obscure the fabulous colors.
- Weaving - Use the beautiful shiny staples for extra texture in handwoven fabrics. Hand knot the staples into beautiful rugs or wall hangings.
- Felting - Use the colored staples as surface decoration. They look fantastic lightly felted into the surface of a natural color felt.

For hand dyeing, felting, spinning into yarn, add to fiber blends or natural stuffing for dolls and pillows.
Wool has been scoured or washed to remove most of the dirt and oils. No harsh chemicals are used, so expect small pieces of vegetation and a bit of lanolin. The process of hand dyeing, which includes very hot water, washes and rinses will remove remaining soil.
If you plan to use as stuffing or un-dyed recommend additional wash to remove last of the dirt and oil.

The Bluefaced Leicester is classified as a longwool breed with a staple length of 3-6 inches, a fleece weight of 2½-4½ lbs., and a fiber diameter of 56s–60s count, or 24-28 microns. It creates high-quality semi-luster yarn with soft hand, beautiful drape, and excellent dyeing properties.
Price is determined by the quality of the wool fleece. A more expensive fleece will have more character, length of the fiber, consistence of the crimp and be finer compared to the other fleeces.

Superwash AKA Mercerized wool is wool treated with a chemical process to enhance its properties, making it smoother, stronger, and easier to wash. The process involves removing the natural scales from the wool fibers and may include adding a thin polymer coating. This results in a yarn that is less itchy, machine washable, and a smooth sheen.
If hand dyeing handle unspun wool top gently. Once wet tends to separate easily. Hint: Lingerie mesh bags are very helpful.

Lock length approx 8".
Hand processed without harsh chemicals. You may find pieces of vegetation &/or a coating of natural oils still left on the fibers.
These locks are not combed or super clean. I don’t use commercial chemicals, yuk! or excessive hot water.
Depending on your use you may want to give the locks an additional wash.
Add shampoo (or wool wash if handy) to water as hot as your water heater can do in a sink or wash tub, wear gloves to protect your hands, hold the cut ends, and give it a gentle swirl. Allow it to soak, but remove before the water cools. Gently Rinse with warm water. If you want brushed, suggest using a flick carder on dried wool. Start combing by tapping from the lock end. Hold the cut end. A smooth cloth on your lap is recommended. Work your way up the lock. Lock may become fluffy. Still holding cut end, dip into warm water with hair conditioner added. Squeeze out water, lay out flat on towels to air dry.
