Understanding TPI Selection
What is TPI in regard to carding cloth? It stands for Tines Per Inch. The TPI of carding cloth determines its suitability for various fibers:
- Ideal for coarse fibers, providing a textured batt with less blending.
- A versatile choice for medium fibers, balancing texture and smoothness.
- Suitable for fine fibers, offering smoother batts and efficient blending.
- Best for very fine fibers, achieving highly refined and uniform batts.
