140 ÁRBÓK FORNLEIFAFÉLAGSINS the lopi is being pulled out of the comb. If a tangle, hnökri, is pulled out of the comb during this process, it has to be removed. Thie other comb is treated in this same manner. When finished, there will be some wool left around the teeth of the combs, longer or shorter according to how closely the fringe has been pulled. Usually the remains amount to the greater part of the wool placed in the combs originally. This is removed from the combs, pulled apart and evened by hand, and then placed again, little by little, on one of the combs, after which it is combed and lopað, i. e. pulled to form lopi, as described above. This proce- dure is repeated a third time. What is by then left in the combs is called unda-n- kemba. It is easier to work if resting the left hand on a table near the edge, while combing, rather than holding it in the air, which is tiring. If the tog has been combed three times, as described above, there are in all six lopar or lengths of roving. These are plaeed side by side, the shorter ones pulled to the length of the longest. Now grasp them all at one end with the left hand and pull at them with the right; the six strands will then form one lopi which is again thumbed into the hollow of the right hand in the same manner as when the first lopi was pulled from the combs. While doing this, hold the lopi up to the light and remove any tangles still left. Do not stroke the roving with the left hand but hold it firmly and move the hand now and again. The lopi is wound into a small skein if not spun right away. The lopi will be about one third in weight against the undankemba, i. e. the left-over wool, more if the tog is of good quality and the fringe has been pulled close to the teeth of the combs, less if the opposite is the case. What here has been described as done with the right and left hand, can be done exactly opposite if wished. In this work as in so much other it would be best if a person could use both hands with equal skill. Kristján Jónasson. 12. 10. 1894.
