Shock (thread size)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schock was an Ermländer and measured Silesian yarn .

When the yarn was wound onto a counting reel , a regionally different number of threads was tied or tied to a bundle (hence the name "bundle"). Finally, a certain amount of bundle forms the finished strand of yarn . A thread or draden was measured by one full turn of a reel. The thread length was therefore dependent on the circumference of the reel, which in turn was also determined by the material of the yarn to be measured.

  • 1 draden = 3½ cubits (Prussian).
  • 1 shock = 60 pieces = 1200 containers = 48,000 draden.

There were deviations in hemp and hedge yarn from Poland and so was the case

  • 1 shock = 4 pieces = 48 containers
  • 1 bundle = 20 cubits.

Was in Breslau

  • 1 thread = 4 cubits = 2.30446 meters
  • 1 bundle = 20 threads
  • 1 zaspel = 20 bundles
  • 1 strand = 3 braids
  • 1 piece = 4 strand
  • 1 shock = 60 pieces
