Title: Teasle brush?
Post by: Surest1tch on January 23, 2018, 20:50:04 PM
Does any one know where I can buy a proper teasle brush from please?  We don't have a proper haberdashery anywhere near us and the ones I've looked at on Amazon and ebay look rubbish.
Thanks in advance.

A pet shop?  You get brushes like that for grooming long haired animals.

Thank you, I did think about that but then thought they might be a bit coarse but hey ho it's got to be better than sitting and trying to tease the pile out with a needle.  I did have a proper one many years ago but I can't find anything that looks remotely like that one, it was just a little circle of wood with lots of fine wires poking out of it.
I had a look at the pet stall on the market this afternoon but no joy there and there are no pet shops locally so sent for one from good ol ebay

Have you seen this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elbesee-Teasle-Brush-Fibres-Crafts/dp/B0089CFI9O) on Amazon or the same on ebay? (https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/332493842282?chn=ps&adgroupid=49511180526&rlsatarget=pla-399467221334&abcId=1130086&adtype=pla&merchantid=101732189&poi=&googleloc=9044967&device=c&campaignid=1029032630&crdt=0)

Hi, yes thank you, I saw those but didn't like the idea of the "prongs" being pushed through a bit of cloth which is just stapled on a bit of wood, I just can't see them being strong enough.  The one I used to have many years ago was like a disc of wood with the "prongs" sticking out of the wood itself.

Thanks everyone, I finished up with a rabbit brush  :S, it was the closest thing I could to a proper teasle brush.  It's not as good but it works, I popped into a little yarn shop this afternoon while I was out shopping and asked the lady who owns it if she can ask her suppliers if they can still get them, which she's happy to do.
