Spinning count is a
measure of fibre fineness
and distribution developed
by the English. It is
defined as the number of
hanks of yarn that can
be spun from a
pound of wool. A hank of
wool is 560
yards long (560 yd/lb =
1.129 km/kg). In theory a
pound of 62s
wool
could produce 34720 yards of
yarn.
As it is now a relative simple matter to measure the average fibre diameter and distribution, spinning count is being replaced with the specification of average fibre diameter in micrometers and fiber distribution in standard deviations.
