Tow refers to the short fibres that remain on the combs when processing our long line linen fibre. We've taken our Canterbury-grown tow and carded it into a roving, so it's ready to spin straight from the bag. The carding opens the fibres up and makes linen more approachable for spinners who are newer to working with bast fibres. If you've found long line or tow a bit challenging to draft, start here.

Please note that our Canterbury-grown fibres are all hand processed so there may be anomalies in the fibre such as left over shives.

Every purchase goes toward our hi-lo spinning machine build which you can read about on our Patren here.

Good for: beginner linen spinning, woollen-style preparation, papermaking, blending with wool or other fibres.
