I doubt if you will find any thing like carding combs or

I suspect you will need to find a specialty supplier online.

Maybe a hobby supplier like one of these can get it for you.

Howard Brush seems to be the only company making carding cloth in the USA.

I don't know if they sell to the public, I think they do take direct  
orders, but they also list their distributors.

One other option would be to find some industrial belting (conveyor belt?)  
or rubber matting & drive a lot of flat headed nails (long staples?)  
through it.
