כְּלִיל תְּכֵלֶת״, וְיָלֵיף ״תְּכֵלֶת״ ״תְּכֵלֶת״ מִפָּרוֹכֶת: מָה לְהַלָּן שִׁשָּׁה, אַף כָּאן שִׁשָּׁה.

English: The Gemara derives the number of strands from the use of the word “techeiles” here and in the paroches: just as the paroches had six strands, so this garment has six.

On the daf / in context: See the cited source for the full section.
