Linen Reed Count

Linen Reed Count
LINEN REED COUNT
There are two systems in use, in addition to the one for the heavy linens (see Dundee Reed Counts), viz. : - that for drills which is based upon the number of beers or porters of 40 threads (20 splits) on 30-in.; the other used for Irish damasks, is based upon the number of beers of 20 splits or 40 threads contained in the width of the cloth which is usually given in quarter yards. Thus 100 beer 5/4, or 100 beer 8/4, means 2,000 splits or 4,000 threads on 45-in. and 72-in respectively.
