Introduction to yarn count
Yarn count
• Yarn count is numerical expression which
defines its fineness.

• Yarn count is a number indication the


mass per unit length or the length of unit
mass of yarn.
Yarn Count

Direct Indirect
system system
Direct system
The direct system of denoting linear density is based on measuring
the weight per unit length of a yarn. The units of mass and
length vary from trade to trade. In direct system, as the yarn
number increases, yarn becomes coarser.
Let,
N= yarn count
W= the mass of yarn sample in the units of the system
L= length of sample in unit of system
l= unit length of the system then, N W l
L
The main systems in use are:
Tex - weight in grams of 1000 metres
• Decitex - weight in grams of 10,000 metres
• Denier - weight in grams of 9000 metres
Unit of length and weight in direct
system
Yarn number Unit of weight Fixed unit of
system length
Tex Gram 1000 metres
Denier Gram 9000 metres
Jute, Hemp, Pound 14400 yards/
Linen (Dry Spyndle
spun)
Woollen Pound 14400 yards/
Spyndle
Indirect system
In an indirect system the yarn count is the number of “units of
length” per “unit of mass”. Here also there are various units of
length and mass/ weight. As the yarn number increases, yarn
becomes finer.
Let,
N= yarn count or number
W= the mass of yarn sample in the units of the system
w=the unit of mass of the system
L= length of yarn sample in unit of system
l= unit length of the system
Then,
L w
N
l W
Unit of length and weight in indirect
system

Yarn number Fixed unit of Unit of length


system weight
Cotton (British) 1 Pound 840 yds (hank)
Worsted 1 Pound 560 yds (hank)
Linen (Wet spun) 1 Pound 300 yds (lea)
Woollen 1 Pound 256 yds (Skein)
Metric (Nm) 1 Kilogram 1 Kilometre
Conversion From one system to another

• Tex × 9=Denier
• Cotton count (Ne) × Tex =590.5
• Cotton count (Ne) × 1.5 = Worsted count
• Cotton count (Ne) × 2.8 =Linen (wet spun)
• Cotton count (Ne)× 1.693 = Metric count (Nm)
• Worsted count × Tex= 885.8
• Metric count × Tex= 1000
• 30s Woollen count
• Weight= 1 pound
• Length= 30x 256 yds

14 spyndle
Length= 14400 yds
Weight= 14 pound
