  2. Kernmantle rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope

    Kernmantle rope (from German kern 'core' and mantel 'sheath') is rope constructed with its interior core protected by a woven exterior sheath designed to optimize strength, durability, and flexibility. The core fibers provide the tensile strength of the rope, while the sheath protects the core from abrasion during use. This is the only ...

  3. Parachute cord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_cord

    Genuine MIL-SPEC MIL-C-5040 Type III Paracord has 7 inner cords each made up of 3 strands. Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is now used as a general purpose utility cord.

  4. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

  5. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

    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.

  6. Rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

    Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

  7. Eye splice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_splice

    Eye splices from Carl Smith's 1899 Båtseglareordbok [1] Eye splice from Alpheus Hyatt Verrill's 1917 Knots, Splices and Rope Work [2]. The eye splice is a method of creating a permanent loop (an "eye") in the end of a rope by means of rope splicing.

  8. Twine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twine

    The strands are plied in the opposite direction to that of their twist, which adds torsional strength to the cord and keeps it from unravelling. This process is sometimes called reverse wrap. [ 1 ] The same technique used for making twine is also used to make thread , which is thinner, yarn , and rope , which is stronger and thicker, generally ...

  9. Yarn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

    Synthetic fibers come in three basic forms: staple, tow, and filament. Staple is cut fibers, generally sold in lengths up to 120 mm. Tow is a continuous "rope" of fibers consisting of many filaments loosely joined side-to-side. Filament is a continuous strand consisting of anything from one filament to many.
