What is it?
What is 100% Cotton Carded Yarn?
How the Carding Process Works
100% Cotton Carded Yarn is made entirely from cotton fibers processed through carding — a mechanical step that brushes raw cotton to remove impurities (dust, seed coat, short fibers, and neps) and aligns the remaining fibers into a continuous sliver.
The result is a cost-effective, breathable, and naturally textured yarn with a slightly rustic hand-feel. It skips the additional combing step used in combed cotton yarn, which keeps unit costs lower while preserving the natural character of the cotton fiber.
At Abtex, all carded yarn production is benchmarked against Uster statistics. Special quality requirements — such as low hairiness, reduced nep count, or specific CSP targets — can be managed in production on request. Learn more about our quality control process.
