1. 9 lbs/spyndle has 4 TPI. Calculate the TPI for 16 lbs/ spyndle yarn. Both yarns have
the same degree of twist.
Solution:
We know, for direct count system,
𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟
𝑇𝑃𝐼 =
√𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
→ 𝑇𝑤𝑖𝑠𝑡 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 𝑇𝑃𝐼 × √𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡
As, both yarns have the same degree of twist, there twist factor are same.
Let, TPI for the 16 lbs/ spyndle= x
So, we can write,

4 × √9 = 𝑥 × √16
