Carded blend yarn usually blending different fibers that have undergone carding, a process that aligns fibers and removes some impurities but does not eliminate shorter fibers as thoroughly as combing. This results in a yarn that is less smooth and uniform compared to combed yarn but offers cost-effective and versatile qualities. Carding creates a bulkier, more textured yarn, which can feel soft but less smooth than combed yarn. The blending of fibers (natural, synthetic, or a combination) allows manufacturers to tailor the yarn’s properties for specific applications. Since shorter fibers remain in the mix, carded yarns are more economical to produce.
