Heading 5109 covers yarn of wool or of fine animal hair that is put up for retail sale, meaning packaged for sale to the final buyer rather than in bulk for manufacturing. The heading splits first by fiber content: subheading 5109.10 for yarn containing 85% or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and 5109.90 for all other yarn in this category. Each of those splits further by whether the yarn is colored and cut into short uniform lengths, whether it is of Angora rabbit hair, and whether the wool fiber has an average diameter of 18.5 microns or less.
