Abstract
The image features ABN from Royee village showing a sample of carded wool that has been prepared using a brush comb. ABN holds the wool up for display, showcasing the fine, smooth texture achieved through the carding process. The even alignment of the wool fibres is a testament to the effectiveness of the traditional brush combing technique.
