    In 2020 the Yarn team released a major update, Yarn 2.0, also codenamed "Berry". [6] This version came with a full rewriting of both the codebase (which migrated to TypeScript in the process) and test suite. Many features were introduced, a cleaving one being a new unique installation strategy called Yarn Plug'n'Play.

    Using the lockfile command (a conditional semaphore-file creator distributed in the procmail package). System calls that create a file, but fail if the file already exists. (System calls are available from languages such as C or C++, and shell scripts can make use of noclobber) Using the mkdir command and checking the exit code for failure [11]

  4. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

    For better accuracy, measure the wraps at the center of your yarn sample. The number of wraps will act as a gauge to assess the thickness of unmarked yarn; for example 12 wraps per inch is 12 WPI, and is used to calculate how much yarn is required for various articles, [3] so that 12 is equivalent to 8 ply (worsted weight, medium weight) yarn. [3]

  5. Gauge (knitting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(knitting)

    Yarn weight is a factor; thicker yarns with less loft overall produce larger stitches than thinner yarns (reducing the number of stitches per width and length). Larger knitting needles also produce larger stitches, giving fewer stitches and rows per inch. Changing needle size is the best way to control one's own gauge for a given pattern and yarn.

  6. Long draw - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_draw

    The hand holding the fiber is the active hand, and the one closer to the wheel is passive. The passive hand smooths yarn, picks out vegetable matter, and pulls out extra bits of fluff, [1] but that is all. The work of drafting is done by the active hand, and most of the regulation and smoothing of yarn is done by twist and tension.

  7. Hank (unit of measure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_(unit_of_measure)

    Knitters and crocheters rewind the hanks into balls or centre-pull skeins prior to use, in order to prevent the yarn from becoming tangled. [2] In the meat industry, a sheep, lamb or hog sausage casing is sold by the hank. This unit of measure equals 100 yards (91 m).

  8. Staple (textiles) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staple_(textiles)

    For instance, in a cotton polyester core-spun yarn, cotton wraps around a polyester filament yarn. Similarly, core-spun cotton spandex is a yarn in which cotton fibers are twisted around a spandex yarn and covers the core yarn and are primarily used in denim types. Plying two or more core-spun yarns are used for making core-spun threads.
