Carding
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A very short encyclopedia entry defining carding as the preparation of wool, cotton, hair, or flax by passing it between the iron teeth of two cards to comb, disentangle, and align the fibres for spinning. It also notes that wool is oiled before carding, giving proportions of oil by weight for weft wool versus warp wool, and cross-references the entries on Cards and Cloth.
