Last updated: September 2026 dataCarded wool — fiber that has been opened and aligned through carding but not combed — is the primary input for woolen-system spinning used in blankets, tweeds, and felt fabrics. Unlike combed wool tops, carded wool retains shorter fibers and a more random fiber orientation, giving finished fabrics their characteristic bulk and softness. The Netherlands and India lead US imports of this material, with Canada, Italy, and Sweden also contributing supply.

Carded wool (heading 5105, subheading 510510) retains short fibers and produces a bulkier, softer yarn suited to woolen-system fabrics like tweeds, blankets, and felt. Combed wool tops (subheadings 510521 and 510529) have had short fibers removed, yielding a smoother, stronger worsted yarn used in fine suiting and hosiery. The choice between them drives both the classification and the downstream mill process.
The Wool Products Labeling Act (WPLA) requires that wool content be accurately disclosed on finished consumer products, but the labeling obligation attaches to the finished article rather than the raw fiber import. However, importers of carded wool should maintain supplier documentation — including fiber type, grade, and any recycled-fiber content — to support downstream compliance when the fiber is incorporated into labeled consumer goods.
