A one-page dictionary entry on yarn that explains how yarn is measured and numbered. It covers the cotton count system (840-yard hanks per pound), with examples from the 1853 London exhibition, and gives the lengths of worsted and woolen skeins. It also gives the reel sizes and the lea, hank, bundle and bunch units for linen yarn, with the lea-based numbering system.
