Etymology

The term 'hackling' originates from the Middle Dutch word 'hakelen', which means to comb or pull apart. This word is closely related to the Old High German 'haccalลn', which also refers to the action of combing or preparing fibers. The process itself has been used for centuries, particularly in Europe, as part of the traditional methods of textile production. Hackling was especially important in the processing of flax and hemp, which were commonly used in the making of fabrics and ropes. Over time, the techniques and tools used for hackling have evolved, but the fundamental purpose has remained the same: to prepare raw fibers for spinning and weaving.
