Carding

Carding and combing are pre-spinning fiber preperation processes to align the fibers which enables you to spin fibers more easily. When felting or making woolen stuffed duvet’s, carding is essential.

Combing straightens fibers more than carding. This difference determines the character of the spun thread: worsted or woolen-spun.
