Wikipedia
In the composites industry, a tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments, and it refers to human-made fibers, particularly carbon fibers (also called graphite).
Tows are designated by the number of fibers they contain, e.g. a 12K tow contains about 12,000 fibers.
In the textile industry, a tow (rhymes with how, unless referring to cellulose acetate which sounds like toe) is a coarse, broken fiber such as flax, hemp, or jute. Flax tows are often used as upholstery stuffing, and tows in general are frequently cut up to produce staple fibers.
