This gives a smooth finish. When you have curly hair, you use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with stiff bristles that are far apart. These bristles leave the curls together rather than separating and smoothing them out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAlthough coarse and textured fibers are best carded on low-tpi carders, fine fibers can also be carded on equipment with less dense carding cloth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e One way to match up your cloth with your fibre is by paying attention to the micron counts (approximate) of your fleece.
