Yarn count
Yarn count:
The yarn count is a numerical
expression which defines its fineness or coarseness. It also expresses weather

“Count is a number which indicates the mass per unit length or the length per
unit mass of yarn.”
Count is a numerical value, which
express the coarseness or fineness (diameter) of the yarn and also indicate the
relationship between length and weight (the mass per unit length or the length
per unit mass) of that yarn. Therefore, the concept of yarn count has been
introduced which specifies a certain ratio of length to weight.
