2. S number (wool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_number_(wool)

   The S numbers originated in England, [4] where the worsted spinning process was invented and arose from the worsted yarn count system for stating the fineness of yarn. The worsted count (also known as the Bradford count) was the number of 560-yard (510 m) lengths (hanks) of worsted yarn that 1 pound (0.45 kg) of wool yields. [5]

3. Smartwool - Wikipedia

   The Hercosett changes the engineering specification of the wool fibers thereby meeting the consumer need of fabric that does not shrink. [6] Reviews for Smartwool products are typically found in the context of equipment for hiking and other outdoor activities. [7] [8] They offer socks, apparel and other accessories for women, men, and kids. [9]

   [39] Worsted is a strong, long-staple, combed wool yarn with a hard surface. [38] Woolen is a soft, short-staple, carded wool yarn typically used for knitting. [38] In traditional weaving, woolen weft yarn (for softness and warmth) is frequently combined with a worsted warp yarn for strength on the loom. [40]

   l/m = 1693 × l m /Nec × m/kg, where l/m is the yarn length in metres, l m /Nec is the English cotton count and m/kg is the yarn weight in kilograms. The following length units are defined. Bundle: usually 10 lb (4.5 kg) Thread: a length of 54 in (1.4 m)—the circumference of a warp beam; Lea: 120 yd (110 m) Hank: a length of 7 leas or 840 yd ...

6. Worsted - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worsted

   Though both made of wool, worsted and woollens undergo different manufacturing steps resulting in significantly different cloths. In worsteds, which undergo more spinning steps, the natural crimp of the wool fiber is removed in the process of spinning the yarn while it is retained in woolens, [7] and woollens are produced with short-staple yarns while worsted cloths need longer staple length.

7. Hosiery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosiery

   Like the yarn used for making woven fabric, hosiery yarn comes from a separate spinning (yarn making) process, and is used with circular knitting machines to form fabric. One or more hosiery yarn is used to make knitted or hosiery fabric, and garments produced out of this are generally referred to as hosiery garments.
