Yarn

== Description ==
A generic term for a continuous strand or thread spun from natural or synthetic fibers and used for knitting or weaving. Yarn is prepared by spinning or twisting loose rovings or filaments of fibers such as cotton, flax, or wool, into a single strand. It can also be made from narrow strips or single strands of glass, metal, plastic, or paper. Heavy yarn can be prepared by twisting multiple single plies together, i.e. a two-ply yarn is made from two singles.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==

Yarn number

== Description ==
A textile measurement term used to indicate the fineness of a fiber. Yarn numbers are determined by two different types of systems: The first is the direct, or denier system, in which the yarn number is equal to the linear density, or mass per unit length of yarn. By the direct system, finer yarns have smaller numbers. It is typically used for silk and synthetic fibers. The second measurement type is the indirect system, in which the yarn number is equal to the reciprocal of linear density, or lenth per unit mass of yarn. In the indirect system, finer yarns have larger numbers. This systems is used for spun yarns such as cotton, linen, and wool.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==

Yellow brass

== Description ==
Yellow brass is an alloy of copper and zinc in which the zinc content ranges from 20 to 38%. In this range the brass has a distinct yellow color; lower concentrations of zinc give the alloy a redder appearance while higher concentrations of zinc make it appear whiter. Yellow brass has excellent corrosion resistance and is often used for decorative purposes. It is also used for architectural grillwork, electrical fixtures, locks, and hardware. Some yellow brasses, such as yellow casting brass (ASTM alloy no.6), contain a few percent of lead (4%) and tin (2%) (Brady 1971).
