The worsted system is used to produce yarn from fibres
that have been carded, gilled and combed. The fibres in the yarn lie parallel.
Wools used for the worsted system are called combing types. They generally have
a longer fibre length than those used on the woollen system (ie. >40 mm). The
woollen system is used to produce yarn from fibres that have only been carded.
Wools used for the woollen system are called carding types. They usually have a
much shorter fibre length than combing wools (i.e. <40 mm).
The worsted system is used to produce fine, even, smooth yarns principally for
apparel use. Because the characteristics of the raw material are so variable,
this takes a large number of steps. The worsted system can be divided into two
main processes, top making, in which the scoured wool is converted into top, and
spinning, in which the top is converted into yarn.
The traditional Aran sweater is always in fashion, in a Dublin Pub, or by the
fire at your favourite ski lodge. This will keep you warm on those cold days
fishing on the Loch.
