The TEX System of yarn sizing
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short article, "Metrics for Weavers" by Peggy Dokka, explaining the TEX system of yarn sizing, in which a yarn's size is the weight in grams of a 1000 meter skein. It argues that yarns of equal TEX can be set at the same sett regardless of fiber, citing the table in John Tovey's Weaves and Pattern Drafting with examples for cotton, linen and worsted. The page also carries the editor's end-of-year note, a "Have You Heard" column of guild news, and an advertisement for a flea market.
