Why Choose This Hackle Set?

Hackles are powerful tools for fiber artists, offering exceptional control when blending colors, removing vegetable matter and neps, straightening locks, and preparing fiber for spinning or carding. This matched set gives you the versatility of both single and double row configurations, allowing you to choose the right tool for each task. The single row hackle is ideal for lighter blending and combing, while the double row hackle provides maximum efficiency for processing larger quantities of fiber.

How to Use Your Hackles:

Load fiber onto the tines by gently pressing fleece, roving, or prepared fiber onto the sharp tines. For blending, alternate between hackles to mix colors and fiber types. For combing, pull fiber through the tines to straighten and align locks, removing short fibers and debris. To create roving, use a diz (any semi-rigid material with a small hole) to pull aligned fiber through, creating a smooth, continuous strand perfect for spinning.

Special Value:

Purchased separately, these hackles would cost $225. This set is specially priced at $215, and includes a free protective cover for the double row hackle (a $35 value). You won't find a better combination of combing and blending hackles with this level of craftsmanship and unique aesthetic appeal at this price point.

Book-Matched Beauty:

This set features book-matched wood grain, meaning the two hackles were cut from the same piece of wood and mirror each other's grain pattern. The distinctive knot feature adds character and visual interest, making this set as beautiful as it is functional. Each set is unique, and you will receive the exact hackles pictured.

Care & Maintenance

Keep tines clean and free of fiber buildup between uses. Store with the protective cover on the double row hackle to prevent accidental contact with sharp tines. Avoid dropping or striking the hackles against hard surfaces to maintain tine alignment. Store in a dry environment to preserve the wood finish.
