I was wondering if you guys use anything to get the burrs out of your wool? Or do you just pick them out? I have the columbia wool bibs and pants and love them but I dont like getting burrs in my clothes, any help would be appreciated thanks brad
I have the same problem. What I do is waite till the end of the season, then PIC them off. It use to bug me about burs, its just the name of the game.
Try a pet comb (steel), or horse brush.
Butter knife and the kitchen counter. Hap
2 butter knives and a 6 and 9 year old. works great for me.
Come to the house and put clean sheets on the bed, then lay in the bed and roll . You won't have to worry about burrs again :)
She will assure that you don't have wool to get burrs in :scared:
I use this and pic out what that doesn't get.
Bur Off (http://www.3riversarchery.com/product.asp?i=9909)
Im a picker. Duct tape rolled on my hand backwards first and press all over to remove the loose ones, but doesn't do all that great. Pick a bad day out, watch a good movie and pick away.
What Stone Knife said.
On the burr off stone, does it really work better than a butter knife? I have seen this in their catalog but wondered if it was worth a $15 gamble. Butter knife has long been paid for.
A good football game helps! :bigsmyl:
Butter knife and then a very loving and understanding wife. The 2 oldest grandkids want 25 cents a burr.
I just pick by hand while sitting in my stand. Helps kill time.
Me too...just pick them out while on stand. Of course, then I'm always cussing why I have so many burrs growing around my stand! Blame it on the cows.
I use a curry comb(horse brush that looks like circles of steel). I use it on my fleece. The fastest thing I have seen. They may not work on real tiny burrs. Gary

Man I'd pick'um out for 25 cents a bur, sounds like good money! HA! Jason
Oh! I use a small beater bar for my shop vac..(you know the kind thats cliped to the back of the vaccums) works like a charm!! Jason
When I was a young teacher--and fleece was the rage--I used to take my burred-up duds to school and give kids with detention an option: 30 minutes of detention or 10 minutes of burr-picking. Most picked the latter (not pun intended)! This was middle school; not sure it would entice today's high schoolers.
the curry style comb used for cats is my choice. Works great
