HARD TWIST YARNS
All spun yarns have twist, but a hard twist yarn has more twist than usual, such extra twist or turns per inch are for some special purpose, such as for weaving voiles, gaberdines, crepes, canvas, etc. Any twist more than the square root of the count multiplied by 4 is termed " hard twist " (see Twist). Botany yarns used for crepons, permos, crepes, etc., are hard twisted.
