A porter’s cushion is [susceptible to becoming] tamei with midras [tumah]. A wine strainer is not subject to [the tumah] of a seat. The hairnet of an old woman is [susceptible to becoming] tamei with midras [tumah]. The shirt of a harlot that was fashioned like netting is not susceptible to tumah. [If] one makes a garment out of a fishing net, [it] is tahor, but if [he made it] out of [the net’s] bottom, it is tamei. R’ Eliezer ben Yaakov says: Also [if] one made a garment out of a fishing net and he doubled it, it is tamei.

[Concerning] a hairnet, [if] one began [to make] it from its rim, it remains tahor until one finishes its bottom. [If] one began from its bottom, it remains tahor until one finishes its rim. Its frontlet is tamei by itself. Its strings are tamei because they are [considered] attached [to it]. [If] a hairnet became torn, if it cannot contain a majority of the hair, it is tahor.

The threads of a sheet, [of] a scarf, [of] hats, [and of] a head-shawl, [their measure is] six fingerbreadths. [The threads] of an undergarment, [their measure is] ten [fingerbreadths]. The threads of an overcoat, [of] a veil, [of] a shirt, and [of] a mantle, [their measure is] three fingerbreadths. The fringes of an old-woman’s cap, [of] an Arab face-covering, [of] kulkin, [of] a hollow belt, [of] a turban, and [of] a partition, [their measure is] whatever [the length of] their fringes may be.

Three mattresses of wool, six of linen, three sheets, twelve kerchiefs, two trousers, one shirt, one mantle, one winter cloak, [are considered] connected with respect to tumah and to sprinkling. [If the quantity] is more than this, [they are viewed as] connected [with respect] to tumah but not [with respect] to sprinkling. R’ Yose says: Not even [with respect] to tumah.
