For two-letter country codes, see ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
ISO 2 is an international standard for direction of twist designation for yarns, complex yarns, slivers, slubbings, rovings, cordage, and related products.[1] The standard uses capital letters S and Z to indicate the direction of twist (S indicates a clockwise twist and Z a conter-clockwise twist).[2] The convention of using these two letters to unambiguously designate twist direction was already used in the cordage industry by 1957.[3]
