Yarn count systems
Yarn count systems Direct System: The direct system of yarn count is based on measuring the weight per unit length of a yarn. Count,D = =
Classification of Direct System Tex: Weight in grams of 1 km yarn. Denier: Weight in grams of 9 km yarn. Jute/Wool/Hemp Count: Weight in pounds of 14400 yards yarn.
Problems The weight of 100 km yarn is 1 kg. Find out the yarn count in Tex, Denier and Jute count?[1kg=2.2pounds, 1m=1.091yards]
Yarn count systems Indirect System: The indirect system of yarn count is based on measuring the length per unit weight of a yarn. Count,N = =
Classification of Indirect System English Count, Ne: Length in hanks of 840 yards per pound. Worsted Count, Nw : Length in hanks of 560 yards per pound.
