This heading covers woollen yarns whether single or multiple (folded), i.e., those obtained by spinning the slubbings of carded (but not combed) wool. It also includes yarns, known as combed-carded yarns, which are obtained from carded (but not combed) slivers by the spinning operations employed for combed yarns. All these yarns are usually wound on bobbins or cones.
This heading also covers yarns of carded wool derived from the combed wool in fragments described in the Explanatory Note to heading 51.05. Yarns are excluded if put up for retail sale (see provisions of Part (¥°) (B) (3) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI). The yarns covered by this heading consist of short fibres or a mixture of long and short fibres which are not parallel but intermingle and cross each other. They are generally less regular and usually more loosely twisted than worsted yarns. These yarns may have undergone the processes mentioned in Part (¥°) (B) (1) of the General Explanatory Note to Section XI. Multiple (folded) yarns in which some strands are of carded wool and some of combed wool are classified in heading 51.06 or 51.07 according to whether the carded or combed wool predominates in weight.
