technique
Last discussed Apr 14, 2026

A textile processing technique that removes shorter, weaker cotton fibers by clamping fibers and running mechanical bristles through them, resulting in stronger, more aligned fibers.

What creators say

"For higher tiered garments, the cotton must be combed. This is going to remove the shorter, weaker fibers and what you're left with are more aligned, stronger fibers that will lead to a significantly stronger and smoother yarn."
