[edit]Thanks for separating this article from ply.
I have reassessed this article from B-class to start-class because it does not cite any written, verifiable sources. We should add some - I'll see what I have. - PKM (talk) 23:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
I just stole the assessment from the other article without paying attention. I have no books or such to look in for sources, but I did try looking at the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica, to no avail. I was only able to find a brief sentence about how some yarns are plied. Loggie (talk) 12:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- No worries; I have something somewhere... :-) - PKM (talk) 18:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh good. All the fiber related books I have are an ocean away, literally, and I won't have access to them for a long while yet, which saddens me almost as much as the lack of a good yarn shop nearby. Loggie (talk) 19:48, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Isn't the actual string called Twine, which is already an article on wikipedia? This describes the process in which twine is made. Is this correct? Agentxp22 (talk) 08:27, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
No, that is not correct. The string is usually called yarn. People generally don't knit with twine. Madradish (talk) 00:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
