YARN

MEASUREMENT OF YARN COUNT:

We have fallowed a different way to find out the count of the yarn. At first we unravel a considerable no yarn from the fabric. Then we measured the total length of the yarn and measured the weight of that no of yarn. From these weights, we find out the count of the yarn.

The equation we followed is as follow:

                 N x L x 453.6

Count =   ----------------

                 Wt x 36 x 840

Where,

N   = number of yarn in bundle.

L    = length of yarn.

Wt  = weight of yarn.

Another formula is the following:

                    Ks x Tex

GSM =   ---------------------

              Stitch length (mm)

Where,

Ks is a constant. Its value is different for different fabric structure and fabric type. Ks is calculated and estimated as below:

              GSM x Stitch length

Ks =     -----------------------------
