Summary

Description

"Twist" in spun yarns or ropes is often labeled Z-twist or Z-laid (for right-handed twist), S-twist or S-laid (for left-handed twist) due to the respective right and left slants of the central sections of those two letters. To visually determine the handedness of the twist of a rope/yarn/etc, sight down a length of it; the direction of the twists as they progress away from you, left or right, reveals their handedness.

NOTE: For an image showing left-twist (S) on the left side of image and right-twist (Z) on the right, please see: File:Yarn_twist_S-Left_Z-Right.png
