Abstract: A card clothing for a yarn carder flat has a card fillet and tooth members with tooth shanks projecting from the fillet and the connector between tooth shanks perpendicular to a travel direction of the fiber. According to the invention the relatively large offsets between the tooth members of one diagonal group from gasps in that diagonal group in which tooth shanks from an overlapping diagonal group are positioned in this direction so that, in spite of large offsets, the alleys formed in the card cloth are comparatively narrow. The diagonal groups can have even numbers of tooth rows and thus odd numbers of offsets.
