Cotton to yarn step-by-step, first we clean, then card or comb to align fibres, then draw out and spin on charkha or machine. Yarn count means thickness, higher count is finer. Combed yarn is smoother, carded more rustic.
In my own handloom shed in Coimbatore, I always choose carded yarn for our traditional Tamil Nadu weaves, because it gives strength and a honest texture to the cloth, not that shiny weakness. For me, combed is for city markets, but carded yarn has the village soul in it, acha?
