Louet Mini Combs

Louet Mini Combs | Lightweight Wool Combs for Easy Fiber Prep

Product Description:

The Louet Mini Combs are an ideal tool for hand carding and blending fiber in small batches with precision and comfort. Designed with ergonomics in mind, each comb weighs just 2.4 oz (70 grams), making them exceptionally lightweight and gentle on the wrists—perfect for long fiber prep sessions.

Made from high-quality beech wood with a lacquered finish, these mini wool combs are engineered for both performance and durability. The tines are enclosed in wood, a unique design introduced in May 2015 to reduce the risk of breaking end tines, extending the life of your tools.

Each tine is mounted in a plastic fitting approximately 3.5 mm deep, with the tine centered in the fitting, providing a 0.5 mm gap on each side to prevent friction and ensure smoother carding. The tines are 4 mm apart and 5.5 cm (2.17 inches) long, perfect for prepping fiber for spinning or felting.

Whether you're combing fleece for worsted spinning or blending exotic fibers for custom batts, the Louet Mini Combs offer control, comfort, and results.
