Wool and fine or coarse animal hair; carded or combed (including combed wool in fragments)

In plain English

This category includes wool and animal hair that has been either carded or combed, with the latter process sometimes resulting in fragmented material. The specific items are distinguished by whether they are wool or hair, and if hair, whether it is fine or coarse. Fine animal hair is further separated based on whether it comes from Kashmir goats or other sources. Additionally, combed wool is classified by whether it remains in its top form or has been broken into fragments.
