What is the definition and characteristics of yarn count

Fabrics are usually composed of yarn counts, and the specifications of fabrics are usually expressed in counts. It is an important indicator of fabrics. Many people buy fabrics based on the count of the fabric, which determines the quality of the fabric.
So what does count mean? In layman's terms, count is a way of expressing yarn thickness.
Yarn count generally refers to spun yarn.

The thickness of spun yarn indicates that the length of the yarn usually stamped out with a pound of cotton is 840 yards. This yarn is called 1 yarn, which is mainly used to express cotton, hemp, tencel, and blends.

The demand for fabrics usually involves several vocabulary, such as raw material composition, count, density and organizational structure. They all complement each other. Generally speaking, the higher the count, the finer the yarn and the smoother the wool texture. A good texture will have a higher price, but the fabric count has a certain relationship with the fabric quality, but there is no complete relationship. Fabrics larger than 100 counts are called "super". This high-count concept is more suitable for worsted spinning, and has little meaning for woollen fabrics.

Regarding the count of fabrics, there are a few common senses that everyone should understand. First, the larger the count, the thinner the yarn. The count is an important indicator to measure the quality of the fabric. It is easy to understand. In fact, it is to describe the thickness of the yarn count. The larger the count, the finer the yarn. The diameter of the 250-thread wool has reached 11 microns. The finer the yarn, the more delicate and delicate the woven fabric style. Secondly, the higher the density, the better the water resistance. Therefore, there is no need to do another waterproof treatment, or the waterproof treatment can be done to achieve better results. And this kind of fabric is more convenient to clean when facing red wine, tea, soup.
