GSM To Count Conversion

The document provides formulas to convert grams per square meter (GSM) to yarn count for different types of knit fabrics. It gives the formulas and worked examples for single jersey, interlock, pique, 1x1 rib, double lacoste, lycra 1x1 rib, and lycra 2x2 rib fabrics. The yarn count needed is calculated by applying the specific formula for each fabric structure that relates yarn count to GSM through a coefficient and constant.

GSM to Count Conversion

Single Jersey:
Say, the require GSM is 160

Yarn count = (-0.141) X (GSM) + 50.22


= (-0.141) X (160) + 50.22
= -22.58 + 50.22
= 27.66

So, to knit 160 gsm single jersey fabric we need yarn count 27.66/s

Interlock:
Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count = (-0.206) X (GSM) + 80.56


= (-0.206) X (220) + 80.56
= -45.32 + 80.56
= 35.24

So, to knit 220 GSM Interlock fabrics we need yarn count 36/s

Pique:
Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count = (-0.146) X (GSM) + 57.16


= (-0.146) X (220) + 57.16
= -32.12 + 57.16
= 25.04

So, to knit 220 GSM Pique fabric we need yarn count 36/s

1*1 Rib:
Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count = (-0.123) X (GSM) + 54.57


= (-0.123) X (220) + 54.57
= -27.06 + 54.57
= 27.51

So, to knit 220 GSM 1x1 Rib fabrics we need yarn count 28/s

Double Lacoste:
Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count = (-0.167) X (GSM) + 64.36


= (-0.167) X (220) + 64.36
= -36.74 + 64.36
= 27.62
So, to knit 220 GSM Double Lacoste fabrics we need yarn count 28/s

Lycra 1×1 Rib:


Let, required fabric GSM is 180

Yarn Count = (-0.119) GSM + 59.12


= (-0.119) x 180 + 59.12
= -21.42 + 59.12
=37.7

Lycra 2x2 Rib:


Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count = (-0.108) X (GSM) + 56.62


= (-0.108) X (220) + 56.62
= -23.76 + 56.62
= 32.86

So, to knit 220 GSM Lycra 2x2 Rib fabrics we need yarn count 32/s
