Combing and carding are two related techniques for preparing wool.
With respect to sheep’s wool, the two techniques are used for making either worsted or woollen threads respectively.
Combing is a technique whereby wool is passed through a series of straight, metal teeth in order to lay the fibres parallel to one another.
Carding is a technique whereby two hand cards are used. Hand cards are typically square or rectangular paddles. These cards have numerous wire teeth set into a paper, leather or metal ground.
The teethed cards are used to separate the fibres, to spread them into a web (but not in parallel lines as in combed wool) and to remove any short or broken fibres as well as impurities.
