I grew a great crop of carrot seeds but how do I easily get all the pieces of stems and twigs out of them so they are ready to trade?

Here is a website that might help....I haven't ever saved carrot seeds myself before but this looks pretty easy

Thanks, I checked it out and it says to screen and winnow. Guess I will just need to find the right size screen. Everything I have is too big or too small. I tried the winnowing but seemed to blow away the seeds too. This is the first year I have had luck with getting carrots to over winter and boy did I get a nice crop of seeds!!! Yea!!!!
