Talmud for Menachot 80:6
רב אחאי אזיל בתר כנף
and the corners thereof of cloth, it is exempt. What is the reason?
Tractate Tzitzit
All1Even women. are subject to the obligation of zizith. R. Simeon exempts women since [the commandment of zizith] is a positive commandment which is dependent on a fixed time.2From which women are exempt. The duty of wearing zizith is restricted to day-time. Any minor who knows how to wrap himself with a ṭallith3lit. zizith, but applied to the shawl to which it is attached. [Cf. the wording of the benediction connected with the performance of the commandment in P.B., p. 14, where ‘fringed garment’ is simply zizith in the Heb.] should be provided with it by his father. A ṭallith which is [long enough to] cover one’s head and the greater part of the body is subject to zizith.
