MKH Carding Wool with Traditional Brush Comb in Royee Village
Abstract
This close-up image captures MKH from Royee village demonstrating the traditional carding technique using a brush comb. The wool is meticulously stretched across the comb, showcasing the fine alignment of fibers as ABN uses another comb to further untangle and smoothen the wool. The tools, with their worn wooden handles and rows of sharp bristles, reflect the durability and long-standing practice of this craft. The raw wool is transformed into a uniform texture through this process, preparing it for spinning.
