The hackle is designed for preparing flax and hemp fibers for spinning by aligning and separating the fibers into smooth, workable lengths. An essential step in traditional flax processing this helps remove shorter fibers and impurities while producing clean, parallel fibers ready for spinning or carding.
By drawing the broken flax or hemp repeatedly through the rows of steel tines, the fibers become progressively more aligned and refined. This process creates the smooth preparation needed for spinning strong, even yarns.
The hackle is built for stability during use and is designed to be securely clamped to a work surface, allowing you to work confidently while drawing the fibers through the Tines. It is constructed from durable materials chosen to withstand regular use in fiber preparation.
