The wool picker is used for picking wool. This is done to separate the of the locks of wool. Some wool types may need more picking then others.

Pickers can take the drudgery out of the picking task. A picker has metal teeth on a curved board, with a curved cradle assembly that swings back and forth to separate the fiber.

This machine passes the wool from the front to the rear, where it can drop into a container. The average person can expect to pick between 5 and 10 pounds an hour. The picker will tease, separate the ends of the locks, as well as blend wool prior to carding. This will greatly improve the ease of carding, weather by hand or by drum carder. It is also possible to spin the fibers directly from the picked condition to create an interesting and irregular texture, also dyed fibers blended together through the picker can be spun into interesting variegated yarn. We do not recommend using it to pick wool in the grease, as the seeds and vegetation will fall out more easily from washed wool. While some debris may fall out during picking, grass and burrs will not. The picker's purpose is to open the wool to prepare it for carding, or for spinning direct from the picked condition.

The Wool Picker has 334 straight stainless steel points that DO NOT RUST, and are great for most wools and fine fibers.

The Wool Picker is made from sanded North American hard maple and is ready for whatever finish you wish to apply, if any.
