combing

Combing is a technological process in the processing of textile raw materials, especially wool, cotton, linen or hemp. Its aim is to separate long, high-quality fibres from short and dirty fibres, arrange them in parallel and prepare them for further processing (spinning, weaving, knitting). Principle and technological process: During combing, the fibres are passed through a system of combs or combing rollers with fine needles or teeth. These catch and pull out long fibres, while short fibres (dust, lint, dirt) remain in the combs or are removed. After combing, a worsted is created – a strip of long, parallel fibres, which is the basis for the production of fine, strong and high-quality yarns. Combing increases the uniformity, strength and shine of the yarn, reduces the number of knots and improves the processability of the fibres.
