What makes our combs special?

  • Smooth Points won't snag on your fiber.
  • A long taper is very important to easily penetrate the fiber instead of pushing it out of the way. Each pin is professionally made in an 8 step process for the highest quality tines.
  • Sharp, but not too sharp. A micro beveled tip on the points keep them sharp but not too sharp. Needle sharp points are dangerous to use, and easily bend the very tips if dropped.
  • Sturdy Tines. Not all Stainless steel is created equal. There are a variety of Stainless-steel grades with varying strengths and weaknesses. We use the stronger options for the superior combing experience.
  • Comfortable to hold and use. Ergonomic, one-piece hardwood handle feels natural in your hand.
  • Handcrafted in the USA from Cherry, sanded smooth, and finished with hand rubbed Danish Oil Finish.
  • Lightweight. The tines are 3.25 inch by 4 inch perfectly balancing weight and working area.
  • Cork Pads on holder and Clamps grips your table, and won't leave scratches.
  • With special thanks to Susan Mcfarland (Author of Combs Combs Combs) for her expert advice, feedback, and input throughout the designing process.
  • One system for all our combs and hackles. With our redesigned Holder, (sold separately here: ( bamfiberworks.com/collections/frontpage/products/wool-comb-holder ) all our Combing supplies all share the same holder and clamps so they work flawlessly with each other. The new clamps in our redesigned holder can be used interchangeably with our Hackles as well.

Now with (Optional) Magnetic Comb Caps!

  • Quick and easy to install and use. These comb covers snap on and off in a second.
  • Holds firmly to the comb with a strong magnet. No need to worry about the cap falling off as you carry them around.
  • You can install the cap while the Comb is full of fiber. Only covers the sharp points while leaving the rest of the comb open. If you need to set a full comb down you can clip on a cap until you have a chance to diz off your fiber.



What Combs do I need. Fine? Extra Fine? Super Fine?
Each comb has its own purpose. I recommend starting with the combs you will use most often and add to your collection as you need.
Fine: Perfect for most medium fibers like Romney, Suffolk, Shetland, Blue-face Leicester, and similar fibers . The tines are set approx. ¼” apart.
Extra Fine: Perfect for most finer fibers like Alpaca, Merino, Rambouillet and similar fibers. If your locks are very thin and tightly crimped you may need these combs to hold the fiber better than the Fines. The tines spaced approx. 3/16” apart.
Super Fine: (or Ultra Fine) These combs are designed for those fleeces with fine, thin, small, slippery, locks. Fibers like Angora rabbit, Pygora, especially fine Suri Alpaca and similar. Our Super Fine Combs are made with thinner pins than the rest of our combs and have 3 rows instead of the standard double row. This helps the combs hold onto those thinner fibers that slip through the pins of the the extra fine combs. The working area of this comb is 2 7/8" wide.


Single or Double Row?

Double Row: (Also known as 2 pitch) This is the most common and versatile comb. Double row combs help separate out the shorter fibers and second cuts from the longer stronger fibers. The unwanted waste will be left in the small space between the front and back row.
Single Row: (Also known a single pitch) These are very useful for blending double coated fleeces, or any time you want to keep all the fiber together.


Mini, Regular or Large Combs? What's the difference?

Note: These terms refer to the actual size of the combs.(Not the tine spacing) In any of these options, you can purchase them in Fine, or Extra Fine, Single or Double Row. (see above)
Mini Combs: These are our smallest, lightest weight combs. Perfect for doing small batches of fiber. When you first hold one you will be instantly in love with it! It's small size makes it easier on your wrists, arms and shoulders than larger/heavier combs. They will fit perfectly in any Bam Fiber Works comb holder. The working area of this comb is 2 1/2" wide.
Regular Combs: (This listing is a Regular Comb set) These are our most popular combs. If you are unsure what you need, go for this one. You won't be disappointed. Designed for the best balance between size and weight They will fit perfectly in any Bam Fiber Works comb holder. The working area of this comb is 3 1/4" wide.
Large Combs: These are our Largest basic combs. If you want to be able to comb more at a time this is the option for you! A slightly longer handle than our Mini and Regular combs with a larger working area. We redesigned our holder to fit these combs as well as our other combs. If you already own one of our holders make sure it has our logo stamped on it to ensure you have the redesigned holder! The working area of this comb is 4" wide.

Many reasons to love these

Compared to my other sets of combs that I have been using for several decades, these combs are superior because:

The top they create drafts perfectly, always, whereas with my other combs, there was typically a struggle and I had to intervene frequently to pull out areas and bits. Even with those gone, the top never drafted as smoothly. Top from these combs creates a consistent drafting triangle and allows me to effortlessly draft out exactly the right amount to make a super consistent yarn .

There is less waste with these, only 10% compared to 50-60% on my old combs.

Fewer neps and noils in the final top, almost none, so 80-90% fewer. I believe that my old combs create neps/noils the more I comb, causing more waste.

These combs prepare more top in one session, 2-2.5 times more than my old combs.

These require fewer passes, usually half, so they efficiently remove waste without damaging the remaining fiber.

These combs are the most economical to own, the extraordinary price convinced me to try them.

They were shipped immediately, for free and by a carrier I am glad was used. They were carefully packaged.

The savvy and attitude of the owner extends to absolutely all aspects and details of his business, unlike other fiber suppliers who might have a good design idea but have no clue about the customer experience and how to bring everything together consistently. Baruch is brilliant and totally understands how to connect to the needs of his customers.

The combs are lovely.

They are a pleasure to use.

They process more fiber faster than the combs I have used before. Though speed has never been my goal, it is much appreciated.

They have changed my fiber preparation experience so that now I am making more and more time to comb and loving it rather than seeing it as a chore that might or might not be easy with that particular fiber on that particular day. These combs are not just my go-to tools but are always calling me back for more fun.

Just because a tool is simple does not mean it can be primitive. Quite the contrary, it needs greater sophistication in design and production to be the best tool.

I really love being able to support a business that deserves to grow and shows so much promise.

Great Combs

I love these combs! They process much more fiber much faster than my old ones and they aren't so murderously sharp that my anxiety spikes any time I use them. Or walk away from them. Or when my child gets to close to them. Now I'm not sure why all others are so sharp! These don't injure me but work just as well. No more wondering if I'm up on my tetanus shots! The magnetic caps make travel easy and safe too. I highly suggest them to all my fiber people!

I recently purchased these larger combs to complement my previous fine mini combs. I call these my wolverine claws and I love how fast I can come som of my finer wool. I have to be careful not to load too much or it’s harder to diz off the comb. I can process about 3x the top vs the mini combs in the same amount of time.
