Garnetting

in the manufacture of textiles, a process by which waste stock accruing in the operations of spinning, weaving, knitting, etc., may be reduced to its raw or carded state. The garnett machine is similar to a carding machine. One or more large cylinders, fitted with numerous fine teeth, are worked against by smaller cylinders, also set with teeth. Between these rollers twisted and knotted fibers of all sorts are passed, until they are straightened out and restored to the condition of "raw stock."
