Hackle - Smooth Points - Diz Included - Stainless Steel Tines - Cherry Wood
Smooth points, stainless steel tines, and crafted from cherry wood with a Danish oil finish. With a beginners diz included to get you started these Fiber Hackles are ready to go. Check out this video for a guide to selecting tine spacing and single vs multi rows. (The video demonstrates Combs, but this perfectly applies to hackles as well) What are Hackles used for? Here are a couple of the most common uses: Blending Hackle: (Typically single row for the least waste) Load your hackle with different colored roving and use the diz or draft it by hand to pull off beautiful, blended fibers. Combing Hackle: (Typically double row for best removal of debris) Use your combs and Hackle together for more efficient processing. Comb your fiber with your hand combs and load the last pass onto the Hackle. Keep doing this until your Hackle is loaded and diz off a large amount of combed top all at once! This makes it much faster, and it’s nicer to spin from one long ‘roving’ than a few smaller ones.
