Pickers are contraptions that open the fleece, fluff it up to get it
ready for carding or spinning. They have big long steel tines (nails,
really) that are curved that pull the locks apart.

I personally would like a bench picker

However I think I can build one myself. On Ebay I've seen cheaper
bench pickers, not made by Fancy Kitty, although you can find theirs
on ebay too.
