Wool spinning machine - Kebouki

Japanese: 毛紡機 - けぼうき

A general term for machines that spin wool, cashmere, mohair, etc. into yarn. There are worsted and woolen machines. In woolen spinning, the emphasis is on mixing fibers of different colors and types evenly to make thick yarn from short fibers. Thin slivers or rovings are made on a carding machine, and then spun into yarn on a spinning frame. Rags and lint are often recycled, and a de-piller that untangles the fabric and yarn, and a cleaning and carbonizing machine are used to turn cotton and other materials into charcoal and remove them. In worsted spinning, many machines such as gills and combers are used after carding to pull the fibers parallel and uniformly. British-style machines are used for thick, long hybrid wool, and French-style machines are used for thin, short Merino wool, as well as American-style and hybrid machines.

Japanese:

羊毛，カシミア毛，モヘアなどから毛糸を紡績する機械の総称で，梳毛（そもう）用と紡毛用とがある。紡毛では短い繊維で太い糸を作るため，色や種類の異なる繊維を均一に混合することに重点がおかれ，カードで細いスライバーまたは粗糸を作った後，精紡機で糸にする。なお，ぼろ布や糸くずを再生する場合も多く，布や糸を解きほぐす反毛機，綿などを炭にして取り除くための洗浄･化炭機が用いられる。梳毛では繊維を平行かつ均一に引きそろえるため，カードの後でギルやコーマーなど多くの機械を使用し，太くて長い雑種羊毛にはイギリス式，細くて短いメリノ羊毛にはフランス式の機械を用い，その他アメリカ式，折衷式もある。
