| Carding:
Aligning fibers in preparation for roving, batts or
spinning.

Before the carding process we apply a light spinning oil
and conditioner to the fiber. This lubricates the
fibers and reduces the breakage that can occur during this
step. It also minimizes the static electricity
generated during the carding process. It is easily
washed out using hot water and detergent. It is also
at this point that you can have your fiber returned to you
in standard roving for hand spinning or into a batt for
quilts.
