It is used to adjust the tension of twisted yarn of silk fabric. The number means the weight written on the side. Porcelain is suitable for handling yarns because it does not generate static electricity. It is used not only for weights, but also for various other purposes, such as thread paths. At each weaving mill, these are carefully organized by weight.
