Straight-Line Textile Calculations. Part 3
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
An article from the trade journal Textiles that explains the basic units of length, area and weight used in textile calculations and the systems for numbering yarn. It contrasts fixed-weight systems (cotton, worsted, woolen, linen, with yards per pound) with fixed-length systems (silk deniers and drams, jute). It covers ply notation, including the exception for spun silk, and has tables of the principal yarn-count standards. The page ends with an unrelated item on English import licenses.
