Linen yarns are sold by the bundle of 200 leas, and a number of bundles, varying with the weight, are made into a "bunch". Thus 14's is made into 11/2-bundle bunches, 24's into 3-bundle bunches, 30's into 6-bundle bunches, and so on. The Dorset and Somerset system takes the weight of 21,600 yards (called " dozen " or 12 half-hanks of 1,800 yards each). In France the pacquet contains 260,000 yards. In Belgium the pacquet contains 180,000 yards. Metric system - The counts indicate the number of kilometres (1,000 metres) of yarn in one kilogram (2.2-lb.)
