Flax Tow is the short, coarse fibre combed out of flax on a Heckle Comb. It is a byproduct of making fine flax for Thread.
Its use is Twine. The Craft Twine recipe twists one Flax Tow into one Twine with a stick and a blade.
Flax Tow comes from the Heckle Flax recipe, which also gives Flax (Heckled). The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Craft Twine is the recipe that takes it. One Flax Tow makes one Twine. The recipe needs a Wooden Rod, Tree Branch or Medium Handle to twist on. It also needs a sharp knife or scissors. Both tools are kept, and no skill or station is needed.
Other fibres fill the same slot. Hemp Dogbane and Hemp (Scutched) each make one Twine from a single piece. Sinew Thread works too, but it takes twenty five of them. Flax Tow is a free extra for anyone already spinning flax into Thread.
Twine itself goes into recipes such as Make Firecracker.
How to Get Flax Tow
The Heckle Flax recipe makes it. One Flax (Scutched) goes in at a Heckle Comb. The output is one Flax (Heckled) and one Flax Tow. No skill is needed. The scutched flax comes earlier in the chain, from rippling and scutching dried flax.
