Flick CardingUpdated 5 months ago

Flick carding is a technique for preparing wool locks with a small flick carder or brush. It opens up the ends of each lock and removes debris, making it easier to spin without fully carding the wool. This method keeps the lock structure intact, which can be desirable for textured spinning.

Tip: Flick carding is a great prep technique if you want to spin in the grease (without washing out the lanolin), as it keeps fibers soft and easy to handle.
