2. Biggest ball of twine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biggest_ball_of_twine

   There are multiple claims to the world's biggest ball of twine record, all within the United States. As of 2014 [update] , the ball of twine with the largest circumference is located in Cawker City, Kansas , measured at 8.06 feet (2.46 m) in diameter and 10.83 feet (3.30 m) in height.

3. Twine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twine

   Twine is a strong thread, light string or cord composed of string in which two or more thinner strands are twisted, and then twisted together . 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.

4. Nylon 66 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_66

   Nylon 66 (loosely written nylon 6-6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6,6, or nylon 6:6) is a type of polyamide or nylon. It, and nylon 6 , are the two most common for textile and plastic industries. Nylon 66 is made of two monomers each containing 6 carbon atoms, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid , which give nylon 66 its name. [ 1 ]

   Simply slip the pencil under approximately an inch of the strands and count the number of strands. [3] Wrap the yarn around a large needle or a ruler. Make sure the yarn lies flat. Push the yarn together so there are no gaps between wraps. Smooth it out so it is neither too loose nor too tight. Measure the number of wraps per inch (2.5 cm).

7. Nylon 12 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_12

   Nylon 12 exhibits properties between short chain aliphatic nylons (e.g., nylon 6 and nylon 66) and polyolefins. [3] At 178-180 °C, the melting point of nylon 12 is the lowest among the important polyamides. Its mechanical properties, such as hardness, tensile strength, and resistance to abrasion, are similar to those of nylon 6 and nylon 66.
