Scope note:

Manual wool carders used in the spinning of cotton, wool, and other natural fibers. These hand-held devices are typically made of sharp wire or steel teeth adhered to layered leather and mounted on rectangular wooden frames a thin handles. To carry out the manual carding process, users hold a card in each hand with the teeth pointing towards each other. Wool or other fibers are placed between both cards, which are dragged lightly over the wool to disentangle and smooth the fibers.
