Standard Wool/Fiber Hackle

These standard hackles are versatile, powerful tools for blending and combing all fiber types. With .25" tine spacing, they're ideal for general fiber prep, coarser fibers, and creating beautiful roving with ease.

Key Features:

• ✓ Sharp, sturdy tines with 3–3.75" exposed length
• ✓ Tempered stainless steel tines — Won't rust or deteriorate over time
• ✓ 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 following the taper — strictly an aesthetic choice, except on the 3.5" hackle which is designed to be used as a fixed comb attached to a table. Each tine drops down an amount equal to the taper on each side, finished with a 45° chamfer on all edges. These provide a full 3.5", 6", 12", or 18" of working space from end to end. A total of between 12 and 213 tines.

As a tool for combing, de-vegging, straightening, aligning, and the overall general prepping of your fiber for spinning or carding. Creating roving is super easy with a diz — load on your mix of fibers and gently pull your roving through the hole as you glide along the width of the hackle.
