Lovely video! Love the tips and your colour combo. You kept everything lovely and simple to understand !
I personally was taught to card and make rolags slightly differently to prevent the carders getting damaged and so that the rolags aren't too tight so you don't have to pull them apart so much.
I need to use my drop spindle more !

Dordy!! This is the only video that’s been able to help me make spinnable fibre 🌸 I have tried this and it works, so thank you

Very helpful video. Focusing on the bottom of the empty carder is something I've missed before!
FYI you can say staple length is the average length of each fiber. It kinda sounded like you were saying the fibers break apart to form the staple length (which, yes, might happen when you pull like that)

This is a great video! You’ve got a new subscriber! I’ve been thinking about making a hand carding video because it’s been awhile since I made one for my channel. This is one of the better hand carding videos I’ve seen on RUclips.
