Yarn Count

Yarn classification
= yarn identification depending on its thickness

by length = count

by weight = titer

 

 

: Reference value is a permanent weight.

: Reference value is a permanent length.

 

 

Formula:

Yarn number = length / weight

Formula:

Titer = weight in grams multiplied by determined length / length in meters

 

 

: The higher the number, the finer the yarn.

: The higher the number, the thicker the yarn.
