card in Irish

(textiles) A hand-held tool formed similarly to a hairbrush but with bristles of wire or other rigid material. It is used principally with raw cotton, wool, hair, or other natural fibers to prepare these materials for spinning into yarn or thread on a spinning wheel, with a whorl or other hand-held spindle. The card serves to untangle, clean, remove debris from, and lay the fibers straight.

Any flat, normally rectangular piece of stiff paper, plastic, etc.

(textiles) To use a carding device to disentangle the fibres of wool prior to spinning.
