I have wondered if Aussie and NZ fibers are twisted in an anti-clockwise direction.
What, just cos our water gurgles down the sink the opposite way to you guys?
Most of our
yarn is twisted as an 'S' twist, or clockwise direction.
Every now and then we do come across a 'J' twist ('Z' twist for you fellas over there) which is twisted in an anticlockwise direction.
Do you come across much Z twist Tony?
Oh, and to answer the question that some are probably about to ask, yes you do need to change your direction of re tufting (re burling), in a loop pile carpet, if you come across a J or a Z twist. If you don't, the loop(s) will twist sideways.
