A short dictionary entry defining 'hank' as a quantity of yarn: two or more skeins tied together. It gives the length of a cotton yarn hank (840 yards, 7 lays of 120 yards, wound on a 4½-foot reel) and explains how cotton yarn numbers are rated per pound. It also notes the finest counts reached by mule spinning and gives a linen yarn table (lea, hank, bundle).
