Fine Tooth Wool/Fiber Hackle

Handmade Fine Tooth Hackle by Riley Wood and Fiber Art

Hackle Widths Available: 3.5", 6", 12", or 18"

These fine tooth hackles are precision tools for detailed fiber prep work. Perfect for fine fibers, creating smooth roving, and achieving professional-quality results.

Key Features:

• ✓ Sharp, sturdy tines with 3-3.75" exposed length
• ✓ Available in 1, 2, or 3 rows
• ✓ Handles all fiber types and lengths
• ✓ Works perfectly with a diz to make your own roving
• ✓ Unique tapered design with 45° chamfered edges

Overall dimensions are between six and twenty-two inches by 1 1/4" by 1". The tines are seated ½" deep and following the taper, which is strictly an aesthetic choice. Except on the 3.5" hackle which is more or less meant to be a comb attached to a table without the combing pad. If you plan to always comb from a fixed comb, this option is great! I love the way these turned out and nobody's making their hackles like this. Making them more unique without losing functionality and capabilities. Each tine drops down an amount equal to the amount of taper on each side. Finished off with a beautiful 45° Chamfer on all edges. These provide a full 3.5", 6", 12", or 18" of space from one end to the other. A total of between 15 and 285 tines.

If you would like hackle hooks to secure your hackle to a table, they can be found here —> Hackle Hooks. If you would like protective covers for your hackle, they can be found here —> Hackle Covers. If you need a standard tooth configuration, check out our Standard Wool/Fiber Hackle

As a tool for combing, de-vegging, straightening, aligning, and the overall general prepping of your fiber for spinning, or in preparation for carding. Creating roving is super easy with a diz (anything semi rigid with a small hole in it). Load on your mix of fibers and gently pull your roving through the hole as you glide along the width of the hackle.
