At long last my new wool combs are on their way from Canada 
 
To show what a sad person I am, I have been following the tracking info.  From where they are made in the SW corner of Canada, they were taken over the border to Sumas, Washington State,  From Sumas they went on to Seattle where they hung around for a couple of days.   Then they have taken a little hike down to San Francisco      Eh?   Seems a long way round.
 
So, I wonder where they will go next on their travels          Clearly I don't have much else to do with my time

Ooh what sort are you getting?

[Fleecewife]

They are Forsyth 4-pitch comb set, fine, in jatoba wood - whatever that is 
 
I've not used combs before but I think they will work well with my Heb fleeces, which can be long and are double coated.   I've washed lots of fleeces to practice on            What a child I am 

[bloomer]

where are they now have they moved yet?

[SallyintNorth]

Ooooh, exciting!   

Do you have an estimated delivery date for them?

[Bionic]

I would be tracking too. Sad isn't it

[Mammyshaz]

I don't know what's more exciting ( or sad  )  You tracking your combs or us watching you tracking your combs 
Hope they arrive safely soon

I like tracking parcels too, especially from the States - it's interesting and increases the anticipation 

Will be interested in what you think of them.

Not a squeak today.  Mind you it's only about lunchtime on the west coast of the US.  Maybe there'll be something tomorrow.
 
 
Delivery from 5 working days after sent, so after midweek, but delays are possible in customs.   And add on a day for coming up to Scotland I suppose.

     All as bad as eachother - shows there's life in us all      Then there's the weekend to get through with no news

I've had a look at combs.  Really, really expensive aren't they?  And I really don't understand why?

I daren't even think about the cost ...but I would only have spent it on food otherwise, and I don't need more food but I do need combs      The ones I'm getting look well made, but I'll find out soon enough if that's true.  You can get combs which are less expensive, hand held, but for my purpose the ones I chose seem best.   I would love to try a variety to see how they compare.   Vicious looking things though 

[Mammyshaz]

I've barely got the hang of  carders. Combs are another world entirely  I'll get there eventually but it'll probably be in retirement.

Where are your combs at the moment?

It's very sad that a set of combs have already seen more of the world than me

How's that for exciting  .   There's nothing to say when they will arrive here...I'll just have to stay near the front gate til the delivery man gets here
