1.what does the different lengths of the yarn signify?
•The first number (or the larger number) indicates the “size” of the singles in the yarn. Historically, different fibers (linen, wool, cotton) were produced by separate mills, so yarn size was standardized differently for different fibers. ... For example, a 3/2 cotton has a grist of 3 x 840/2, or 1,260 yards per pound.
