the teeth on these combs really are man sized!
a compilation of information about feltmaking and related activities both past and present and reflections on my reenactment experience in the 16th century. If you have any information that will add to and complement or even contradict what I have here then feel free to contribute. Many thanks to those of you who have helped me get thus far.

2010 in general and Wool Weekend 5/6th June
This summer I won't be feltmaking at the Kentwell Hall reenactment. I'll be working in the house making subtleties for "The Family". So I guess there won't be many, if any posts for this blog this year.
Last weekend I was, however at Wool Weekend with the Regional International Feltmakers Association group and the Lavenham Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers. Alison, a Guild member, kindly brought along her wool combs, Widow Meg showed us how to use them and Alison donated them to Kentwell. When you see what they are like you will know why they are in safe keeping rather than lying around.
