The packet is a complete set, the white strings for all four corners of a beged, nothing else needed once it is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grades within this line separate on how the wool is handled before and during spinning, and mehudar is the level most men step up to when they decide that machine spun strings are no longer what they want on their tzitzis. Above it sit the nupatz lishma, plach and plach giza lishma sets, each one a further hidur and each one priced accordingly. Ask a rav or a sofer which level fits what you are looking for; the halachic requirement is met well below this point, and everything from here up is hidur mitzvah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA set like this belongs on a beged that will be worn and looked after, not on a boy's spare.

The word points to the combing of the wool: it is worked lishmah before it ever reaches the spindle, so the intent for the mitzvah is present at the earliest stage of the process rather than only at spinning. The set is complete for all four corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMen who order at this level generally know exactly why they are doing it. This is not the packet for a cheder boy's spare beged; it goes onto a tallis katan or a tallis gadol that its owner intends to keep for many years and to look after properly. If you are buying it for someone else, confirm first that this is the grade he holds by, since the line runs both above and below this point and men are particular about where they stand in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTying a set of this value is worth doing carefully or handing to someone who ties for a living.

Rather than drawing the strand on a wheel, the spinner works it on the spindle itself, the older and slower method, and the grade takes its name from that. This is a full four corner set of white strings from the Valles Hamekoiry line, sitting above the nupatz lishma level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hidur here is in the process rather than in anything visible across a shul. A man who buys plach strings is buying the way they were made, and generally he is putting them on one particular beged that matters to him. If these are going onto a tallis gadol, plan the keshira before starting, because the strands are long and the winding takes patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Valles Hamekoiry range is worth understanding before choosing within it. Mehudar and nupatz lishma come in beneath this, and plach giza lishma, where the shearing itself is done lishmah, sits above it. Each level is a real distinction rather than a marketing tier, and a rav can tell you which one answers what you are actually looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSold by Judaica Square, Lakewood NJ.
