If you would like to watch a video of the picker in action please go to the following You Tube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbVV4KHmW8k Made entirely from 3/4 inch North American hard maple and maple veneers, it is 40 inches long, 40 inches tall, and 12.5 inches wide. It has a 9.5 wide by 12 inch long picking area with 424 evenly spaced stainless steel points, that DO NOT RUST. The Picker bed is fully and easily adjustable for more aggressive or less aggressive action, and the picker sled slides silky smooth on hard maple guides. The wool picker is used for picking wool. This is done to separate the locks of wool. Some wool types may need more picking then others. Pickers can take the drudgery out of the picking task. This picker has metal teeth on a flat bed, with a flat picking sled that moves in a fashion similar to a swing picker, but with a flat movement rather then a swinging arc. This machine passes the wool from the front to the rear as it is being processed, (just like a swing picker), where it can then drop into a container. This is done by arranging the angles and location of the points on both the picker sled and Picking bed in a particular pattern. The average person can expect to pick between 5 and 10 pounds an hour. The picker will tease and separate 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. It is almost impossible to clean a picker that has been used to pick wool in the grease. In addition, 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. Because of the high density of points and its adjustability, this picker works great for most fibers, including the very finest fibers. The Wool Picker is made from sanded North American hard maple & maple veneers and is ready for whatever finish you wish to apply, if any. SAFETY: Please treat this picker with GREAT RESPECT and take the appropriate care when using it. Never use this picker when children are in the immediate area, and be sure any adult observers are at least three feet away when the picker is in use. Use the same care you would use with any dangerous cutting device. PLEASE DONT PURCHASE OUR PICKER UNLESS YOU ARE A RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL ENSURE ITS SAFE USE AND LOCKED STORAGE.
