Yarn of fine animal hair (carded or combed), not put up for retail sale
In plain English
This category covers yarn made from fine animal hair that has been either carded or combed and is not packaged for direct sale to consumers. The classification distinguishes between two specific types of processing: one for yarn that has undergone the carding process and another for yarn that has been combed. Both types remain within the same general group as long as they are not prepared for retail distribution.
