Conversion of Count System: We can convert the value of count from one to other systems by following only some formulas. There are 4 systems for yarn count conversions from one system to another system. System of Yarn Count Conversions: Conversion from direct to direct Conversion from indirect to indirect Conversion from direct to indirect;…
Moisture regain: Moisture regain is defined as the weight of water in a material as a percentage of the oven-dry weight. Moisture regains, and moisture content is essential in the textile industry. Moisture regains and moisture content has also defined the humidity. In this article, you will get a proper idea of this. Let, Oven…
Direct System of Yarn Count: In this process, the count is based on the number of weight units in a length unit. Thus the size or bulkiness of the yarn is directly proportional to the count number. A coarser yarn will have a higher yarn count number while a finer yarn will have a lower…
Yarn Count: The count is a numerical value, which expresses the coarseness or fineness (diameter) of the yarn and also indicates the relationship between length and weight(the mass per unit length or the length per unit mass) of that yarn. In this article, we will know about the selection of yarn count for various GSM…
Indirect or Fixed System of Count: An indirect system of yarn numbering and calculation system is the count of yarn expresses the number of length units in one weight unit. Higher the count finer is the yarn. This system is generally used for cotton, worsted, woolen, linen (wet spun), etc. The indirect system of yarn…
Introduction: Yarn count and machine gauge are two important factors that affect the properties of a knitted fabric. The relationship between yarn count & machine gauge is indirect. In general, finer yarns are knit on higher gauge machines, and coarser yarns are knit on lower gauge machines. This is because the spacing between needles on…
