Importance of Yarn Count
The count of the yarn is termed as an exact number that indicates the weight or length of the yarn. In direct term, the count determines the weight of a specific length of yarn. For instance, Tex is the weight of the yarn in grams in one-kilometer length of yarn whereas denier is counted as the number of grams of 9000 meters of yarns. Apart from this, a user can conclude the same as per indirect system like a count is the number of units in a fixed length of yarn that makes a particular weight. One can also conclude it as a number of hanks of yarn in one pound, or Metric is a total number of a kilometer of yarn in one kg of yarn. Apart from the system of the direct or indirect count, there are two basic requirements that help to determine the count of the yarn:
- Exact assessment of the weight of the sample yarn and,
- Accurate estimation of the length of the sample yarn.
This method of determining the count of yarn depends on the type or form of yarn in which it is available for the testing process..
