The invention discloses a manufacturing process of high-count linen tow yarn. The manufacturing process comprises the following steps of carding raw materials by a hackling machine: taking tows with uniform thickness and uniform color based on the number of needles on the middle section of the hackling machine; and performing humidification curing, combined carding and gilling, and performing combing, roving and boiling and bleaching, wherein the boiling and bleaching process comprises four steps of acid pickling, chlorite bleaching, light boiling and oxygen bleaching. According to the invention, the raw materials are carefully selected, and the relatively uniform tows with good fineness consistency are selected; tow fibers are good in splitting degree and small in difference, so that the effect of the independently selected short fibers is far better than the effect of post-processed fibers; and in addition, improvement lies in boiling and bleaching, the fibers with the relatively good fineness are used, and chemical processing, namely, the boiling and bleaching technology is moderated, so that in the processing processes of chlorite bleaching and oxygen bleaching, the fibers are lighter than those in a conventional technology, the fibers are not damaged, and in order to ensure that the splitting degree is suitable and one step of light boiling is carried out, the spinning production and quality are improved.
