Roy Clemes , the son of the Clemes & Clemes Fiber tools, Stopped by the studio this past week. How wonderful to meet the person that I speak to on the phone and order from. They are always so helpful and get the in stock items shipped to me in just a day or two!
Here i am with roy holding my rubber ducky yarn .Roy's girl freind Gina took this photo and posted it on instagram.
Roy loved my rubber ducky yarn! and of course I asked him to try saori weaving ! He did very well!
To those of you who do not know Clemes and Clemes they make hand carders , drum carders, niddy noddies, electric bobbin winders and much more… those of you who spin know that for over 40 years there hand carders, and drum carders have been famous !
besides the classic alder hand cards they make cherry and walnut and other special run woods too.
check them out
Clemes tools in my ETSY shop here
Did you know they created the first blending boards and made it popular ? still the best blending board out there ! many come lately models do not have the "magic " carding cloth of the Clemes boards. they are in cherry and other beautifuly finished woods with the adjustable "KEEL" and brass fittings MADE IN THE USA. Here in Pinoal California.
The only motorized drum carder that is convertible to manual in less than than a minute . schedule a time at the studio and try it out, it is awesome .
The only bobbin winder with a electronic foot control, not a rheostat design. noisy peddle!
i used mine to wind over 50 bobbins for a school weaving class a few weeks ago, it was heaven to use !
I am glad you and Gina had a nice time in Santa Cruz and Monterey and thanks again for stopping by the studio !

I just love your blogs...thank you for sharing your wonderful work. I dream of coming over one day from UK (used to live in CA many years ago!). You were the person who inspired me to try weaving at the beginning of the year.....I haven't stopped since!!!)
