  • 101 Hank

    A length of yarn which varies for different materials. The term is applied to reeled yarn of a suitable length for calculating or being easily handled, as in the case of hank dyeing. Its length varies according to the denomination on which the counts is based, or according to the weight which may be suitably handled. In the worsted trade, the reel on which the hank is wound is one yard in circumference, whereas the cotton reel is 54-in. in circumference. The methods of counting yarns in most instances arc based on the number of hanks per pound.

  • 102 Shetland Wool

    A very fine and lustrous wool from the Shetland sheep, in white, grey or brown and is one of the most expensive wools. The wool is scoured and spun by hand, then treated with sulphur fumes and made up into hosiery, underwear, fine shawls, and crochet work. The wool is an undergrowth found under the longer hairy wool and is not shorn but pulled by hand. It is very soft and silky, of medium length and felts well. The 1938 crop was about 150,000-lb. Only a small proportion of this weight is really fine. Hand-spun yarns are produced from the finest of this wool which give 30,000 to 40,000 yards to the pound.

  • 103 Slipe Wool

    The wool obtained from the skins of slaughtered sheep by treatment with lime. Through contact with the lime, which penetrates the fibre, wool treated by this means is harsh in handle and grey and dull in colour, while the operation of washing is made much more difficult and expensive. Lime is only sparingly soluble in water, it loosens the fibre quite well, but it also dissolves substance and leaves the wool drier and less elastic. The lime also combines with the internal yolk, forming a lime soap which is exceedingly difficult to get rid of. Besides this the " slipe " usually contains free lime in the form of small pellets embedded in the staple. Some wools are put on the market containing 8 per cent of free lime, while the combined lime may amount to 2 per cent of the weight of the wool, depending on the strength of the solution and the duration of the immersion. Every pound of free lime destroys 15-lb. of soap. "Slipe" wool is largely employed in crossbred top-making for serges and hosiery of medium-class types. Low qualities are also employed in the manufacture of cheap hosiery, carpets, woollen suitings, blankets, flannels, and rugs.
