No, it's a wool comb, not a card. Used for aligning the wool fibers
for making worsted yarn (the smooth stuff) instead of woolen yarn
(the fuzzy stuff you're more used to). Cards do the woolen thing.

Well, at least I was in the right church, just hadn't found the right pew

Yep...I'm a bit of a fiber geek, so I'm picky about it...
