The combed wool is one of the most versatile and traditional methods of working with wool. After shearing and washing, the fiber passes through the carding machine, which opens, aerates, and untangles the strands, creating a soft and fluffy mass of interwoven fibers. This process maintains the wool's original structure, allowing it to breathe and retain its natural elasticity.

In the past, this work was done by hand by carders,an essential trade in the villages where wool was processed. They used large hand-held carding combs with prongs, and with patience and skill they prepared the fiber for spinning or filling mattresses, quilts, or blankets. It was an almost ritualistic process, part of daily life in livestock-raising areas.

Today, carded wool remains an essential material for those who work in a handcrafted way. Perfect for spinning with a spindle or spinning wheel, it is also ideal for felting, both dry and wet. Its soft, natural texture makes it unique for projects seeking warmth, a connection with the raw material, and unpretentious beauty.
