To number worsted yarn: Reel 560 yards, equal to one skein orhank, and opposite its weight of grains in the table, will be foundits number. Worsted Count System. 560 yards No. 1 Worsted Yarnweigh 7000 grains (1 lb.) 50 yards of No. 1 Worsted Yarn weigh 625 grains, fromwhich the table on page 25 is calculated. Reel off 50 yards, and opposite its weight of grains in thetable will be found the count or No. of the yarn. To find the count from a small sample of single worsted yarn:Divide the weight by the length in inches and multiply the quo- 35 24 KNITTING. tient by 1800 (60 yards reduced to inches = 1800 inches). Find. the number in the table on page 25 and opposite is the numiberdesignating the No. of the yarn. 36 KNITTING. 25 Example : Suppose we have 62 inches of single worsted yarnweighing grains: Then: ^ 52 = .1,15T, this X 1800 = Referring to the table we find that the size of this yarnis No. 3. Again; — Suppose we have 152 inches weighing ,then -i- 152=.00694T X 1800 r= ; therefore,by referring to the table we find that the count is No. 50.
