I think she's looking for cards - paddle shapes........  I'll pass it on and see if she knows what breed the wool is. Thanks!

I knew Debroa had tried to reply, but never saw her message show up on 
the list.  I'm fowarding it, forgive me if it's a repeat.

Greetings Your Excellency,

Do you have any idea as to the breed of wool that your mom has?

Regarding the carding combs, you may not have a clue - but is she 
wanting cards or combs?  There is a big difference.  Cards are paddles 
of wood that have little crooked wire teeth and look very similar to 
cotton cards.  Combs have long nails and can have a single row or as 
many as 5 rows.  These are generally used with longer stapled wool and 
can be very wicked.

You can go online with the key words 'wool hand cards' and find sources 
for the cards.  Likewise, use the key words 'wool combs' and you'll find 
sources for them as well.  Or, remind me and I'll bring you a 
subscription form for the SpinOff magazine.  I know that's not what you 
requested but it's a wonderful magazine for the handspinner and has 
great advertisers.  Or - give me a holler and I'll try to come up with 
other options.  The only non-option is for me to give up my cards.

Your servant,

Debroa
