Clean Your Gripper Frame

Have you got a gripper frame that is all crudded up with bits of wool?  It’s a pain to pick out all that crap, isn’t it?

Try out a hair brush cleaner.  It was recommended as a way to clean a drum carder, which has those exact same teeth as a rug hooking gripper frame.  I got my cleaner from Amazon, but there are probably other places where you can get this gizmo.  It’s basically a teensy rake with wire teeth.

Some short sharp strokes with the cleaner was all it took.
