Needle felting uses roving, or carded wool, to create interesting patterns on existing fabric.
The most important industries of the town are the manufacture of buckskin, the spinning of carded yarn and vicuna-wool, and the processes of dyeing, finishing and wool-spinning connected with these.
The silk was then boiled and afterwards beaten, scutched, carded, drawn, spun, folded, &c., in exactly the same way as fine cotton.
After the fibre has been thoroughly carded by the above machines, the cans containing the sliver from the finisher card are taken to the first drawing frame.
No sooner had their carded prop returned, their long serving open side flanker, Hedley Verity, took his place on the bench.
