Image description

Woolcomber, Woolcombing was part of the process of worsted manufacture, In the manufacture of woollen textiles the raw wool was carded to lay the tangled fibres into roughly parallel strands so that they could be more easily drawn out for spinning, Wool used for worsted cloth required more thorough treatment for not only had the fibres to be laid parallel to each other but unwanted short staple wool also had to be removed, This process was called combing, It was an apprenticed trade, a seven year apprenticeship being the norm in the mid 18th century
