In this process, fibers 3/4 inch to several inches in length are formed into a web, either by air dispersion... or through garnetting and carding machines... Whichever way the web sheet is formed, it can be made in any thickness desired, depending on the end use envisioned.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
OBS

Whenever hard-twisted woolen, worsted, cotton, and ray on yarn or yarn wastes are to be employed in woolen mixes, it becomes necessary to subject the stock to a garnetting process as a succession to rag picking or teasing. Garnetting has for its object the thorough breaking up of the waste and its return to a fibrous condition so that it can used in mixes with virgin wool or other stocks...
