Hard twist - Today

…A decorative thread is a type of thread intended to give a fabric an unusual appearance. It includes heathered threads made by twisting two or more threads of different colors together, and loop or ring threads with loops created here and there.
[Thread twisting]
During spinning, the yarn is automatically twisted at tens to thousands of twists per meter, with strong twist being called hard twist and weak twist, such as in knitted yarn, called loose twist. Some filament yarns have no twist at all, but some are hard twisted or loosely twisted.

From [Yarn]

…Medium-weight yarn is made by twisting four single yarns of 10 count. Wool yarn is twisted during the manufacturing process, and can be right-handed (S twist) or left-handed (Z twist). Depending on the number of twists, it can be classified as soft twist (300 or less twists per meter), medium twist (300 to 1000 twists), or hard twist (1000 or more twists). In addition, there are fancy yarns that have distinctive effects created by changing the thickness, color, twist, and tension when twisting the yarns together. …
