Premium Hackled Flax Tow for Spinning, Blending & Industrial Applications

Fiber Fab manufactures Machine Tow, a high-quality flax tow produced during the hackling of long fiber. This tow is one of the cleanest and most refined tow grades available, offering superior length, purity, and processing behavior compared to standard re-scutched tow.

Machine Tow is used in spinning preparation, blending, cottonization, nonwovens, filling, and technical industrial applications.

Product Overview

Machine Tow is formed when long flax fiber is combed through hackling units.

During this process, shorter but highly refined fibers are released, resulting in a tow that is:

• Clean
• Long
• Uniform
• Well-opened
• Low in impurities

This makes Machine Tow ideal for spinning coarse yarns, blending with cotton/viscose/polyester, and for high-quality nonwoven and industrial use.
