Guys/Gals,

 

Learned something new today. Tried mixing up some very fine synthetic yarns that already had flashabou in it. The coffee grinder turned the whole thing into an ugly rope.

Heard years ago about folks using wool carding brushes for mixing small amounts of dubbing. Well, haven't got them so I tried Lee Valley's World's Kindest Fingernail Brush on the same mixture. Worked like a hot damn. Store in Calgary and sorry 'bout this but it's a CDN company.

You need two of them. I removed the dubbing caught between the bristles with a mustache comb. Buy a dozen brushes - your wife will always find uses for them.

 

See: http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?...amp;cat=2,42551

 

The brushes are just the ticket for removing crap off mushrooms as well.

 

 

regards,

Great idea Don. I find a coffee grinder only gooe for large amounts of dubbing and visually hard to work with to get the color. Been using a soft pet brush but these look like just the ticket.
