Blätz
The Geblätz , also Gebletz , was the name used in the Hessian dialect for a unit of measure of yarn. The piece size is named after the sound of the reel counter when the number of 60 revolutions is reached to form a bundle of 60 threads. The blow, which was called Blatz (mhd. To beat), was generated by the spring on the reel.
