Combed flax, combing tow
The Depestele group has 2 combing lines. This is the second processing stage for long fibers after scutching. Combing removes the last straws after scutching. It separates and parallelizes long fibers. To obtain the best possible quality yarn, combing the long fibers is an essential step.
