Carding Machine Operators
This page updated July 13, 2005
Carded wool is fed from one carding machine into another as it is repeatedly blending and refining the wool fibers into a high quality product called roving. The roving is spooled and then sent to be spun into thread.
The carding machine operators were the persons who watched and operated these massive machines.
