Sari Yarn Count

What is Yarn Count?
Count is a numerical value, which expresses the coarseness or fineness (diameter) of the yarn and also indicates the relationship between length and weight. Therefore, the concept of yarn count has been introduced which specifies a certain ratio of “length to weight”

There are two different types of counts
1. Direct count system - weight of a fixed length of yarn is measured (dtex, tex) 2. Indirect count system - length of a fixed weight of yarn is measured (Ne, Nm)
