Carding and combing are pre-treatments in which the hairs or fibers come to lie in the same direction. This makes it easier to felt or spin the material. When combing, the hair is stretched more than when carding. This difference determines the character of a spun thread: worsted or ironed yarn. Louët hand cards are made of a very light and strong type of wood, from which, for example, piano keys are also made. The card fittings that Louët uses are made of galvanized steel wire. The high quality guarantees a long service life. Extra Fine-10 x 10 cm also have the very fine batter (110 points per square inch). Fine-19 x 10 cm are available in pairs. Standard with fine fittings (46 tpi = points per square inch). Show more
