1 Linen Yarn Counts (Fine Or Wet Spun)
The basis for counting linen yarns is fixed by Act of Parliament. The reel is 90-in. in circumference.
The count is the number of leas of 300 yards that weigh 1-lb. 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.) Dictionary of the English textile terms > Linen Yarn Counts (Fine Or Wet Spun)
