Product Description

Heckling (or "hackling") splits and straightens the flax fibers, as well as removing the fibrous core and impurities from flax.[1] Heckling is done with heckling combs by pulling the flax through the combs. This parts the locked fibers and makes them straight, clean, and ready to spin.[2] After heckling, the flax is ready to spin. After spinning, the flax is then suitable for weaving into linen.
