The linen tester came in the mail today. I "think" the angle of twist is 30 degrees for the single ply and 150 degrees for the double ply.
All I know for sure is I have a headache, and that when my hair fell under the lens it looked coarser than the string.

When I stuck the protractor to the screen it looks closer to a 45 degree angle, but it's hard to tell if it's because the camera was at an angle or if the treadling to wind on the thread introduced additional twist.
