CardingUpdated 6 months ago

Carding is the process of preparing raw fibers for spinning by aligning them into a loose, fluffy sheet or batt. It’s done with carding brushes or carding machines and is essential for woolen spinning. Carding breaks up clumps in the fiber and mixes any additional fibers for color or texture blending.

Pro Tip: Hand carders are great for small batches, but a drum carder is a must if you’re preparing larger quantities of fiber.
