A New Spin on Cordage
Cordage spin direction is primarily thought to be the result of cultural training, although some researchers also believe that it may, in part, reflect the innate structure of materials. To test whether material structure was the dominant determinant in the choice of spin direction, we spun yucca, cotton, and human hair both z-wise and s-wise. Z-wise spinning was easier and resulted in a tighter yarn for all three materials, although yucca showed…
