Does anyone know this nursery rhyme?

It has something about carding (the part of the wool making process before spinning I think) . It’s something like card card card the wool - with appropriate actions.

The rest of the song may have also been about wool making or other folk crafts.

It’s driving me mad, I’ve googled and looked at all my childhood nursery rhyme books.

Does it ring any bells?

Thanks

To the tune of row, row, row your boat? I remember bits of it and am googling in hope.

Thanks everyone - I found that via google but it doesn’t really ring any bells. But then there not much likelihood of 2 rhymes about carding!

Gah - I think this rings a bell, but I'm not sure I'm remembering it right

Card, card it well and spin, spin away (I think) and

Zoom, zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom, zoom.
Wheel turn around, wheel turn around.

That's all I can remember.
