Lap preparation is the process to prepare for combing process by making flat laps with combining multiple threads of carded slivers. It is the important step in the combing process, which influences the quality of the combed sliver.
Combing is the process that removes the final proportion of short fibers, neps and others impurities such as vegetable matter and seed coat fragments in cotton that has already been carded. Combed yarns are superior in quality when compared to carded yarn as they are generally finer, stronger, smoother and more uniform due to the removal of short fibers and the alignment of fibers.
Noil consists of shorter fibers and neps. The amount of noil removed in the combing process may be varied to suit the circumstances and is usually expressed in percentage based on the original weight of laps fed into the machine.
