Flax TOW fibre - 100gms

Flax TOW fibre per 100gms

Flax TOW is the result of carding the flax fibre, its what is left after the long fibres are drawn off to be  kept in a bundle for dressing a distaff or for spinning into warp yarns. The TOW is the collection of the remaining short fibres which did not make the length requirement. This results in this product having a more fuzzy appearance, lots of ends and short fibres. Tow fibre results in a spun yarn having more bulk and character then the line flax fibre which results in a smoother stronger yarn. When spun, TOW fibre is more suitable as a weft yarn, lacking the traditional strength of the long fibres yarn.
