Worsted-spun

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Worsted-spun yarns, used to created worsted fabric, are spun from wool fibers that have been combed, instead of being carded, to ensure that the woolen fibers all run the same direction, butt-end (end that was cut in shearing the sheep) to tip, and remain parallel. A short-draw is used in spinning worsted fibers (as opposed to a long-draw).
