	Worsted - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Worsted is the name of both a yarn, usually made from wool, and the cloth made from this yarn.
		Worsted cloth, archaically also known as "stuff", is lightweight and has a hard, smooth texture.
		Worsted is also used for carpets, garments, hosiery, gloves, and Billiard table cloth.

	Terms & Definitions
		Worsted wool is never dyed until after it is combed and dyeing at this stage is called top dyeing.
		Traditionally, worsted yarns were from fibers 3+ inches in length, but this is no longer true as now many shorter wools are also worsted spun.
		A hank of worsted wool is equal to 560 yards.

	Worsted
		Worsted is in Tunstead hundred, 12 miles north-north-east of Norwich.
		This place was formerly the seat of a considerable manufacture, introduced by the Flemings, of woollen twists and stuffs, called from it ‘Worsted goods;’ but this manufacture was in the reigns of Richard II and Henry IV removed to Norwich, where indeed it had been previously established.
		The market has been discontinued ; and the town has now scarcely any manufacture and little trade, though the latter is facilitated by the canal from the river Ant up to North Walsham, which passes near the town.

	The Joy of Handspinning - Spinning Woollen and Worsted Yarn
		Woollen and worsted yarn are two types of yarn that can be handspun.
		Worsted yarn is spun using a long staple fiber that is prepared by combing with dutch combs or a flicker carder, to keep the fibers parallel, and to remove the shorter ones.
		When spinning, the worsted technique is used, in which, the fiber is first drafted and then twisted using the thumb and forefinger to flatten the loose fibers.

	Textile Research Journal: Predicting Worsted Spinning Performance with an Artificial Neural Network Model
		For this reason, it is necessary to develop an empirical model that can encompass all known processing variables that exist in different spinning mills, and then generalize this information and be able to accurately predict yarn quality for an individual mill.
		It predicts worsted spinning performance and resultant yarn properties when a spinning mill operates according to "world best practice", rendering it a very useful benchmarking tool.
		On the other hand, improved prediction capabilities for ends down, a multivariable parameter dependent on the interactions of yarn strength, yarn irregularity, and tensions imposed by the spinning speed, traveller weight, and ring size [7], may be achieved by using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with the ability to solve nonlinear, nondeterministic relationships.
