Definition

   Count: According to the Textile Institute “Count is a
    number of indicating the mass per unit length or length
    per unit mass of yarn”.
   Yarn Count: is defined as the weight per unit length of
    the yarn or the length per unit weight.

There are several count system of yarn. These
    count systems have been divided in two ways. One is
    Direct System where length is fixed and another is
    Indirect system where weight is fixed.

   Direct System
   Indirect system

   The weight of a fixed length of yarn is determined. The
    weight per unit length is the yarn count.
    The following formula is used to calculate Direct count:

   N= (W×l) / L

   Where, 
    N =Yarn count, W =Weight of the sample, L=Length of
    the sample
    l=Unit of length of the sample

The length of a fixed weight of yarn is measured. The
    length per unit weight is the yarn count.

    The following formula is used to calculate Indirect count:

   N = (L×w) / W×l

   Where, 
    N =Yarn count, W =Weight of the sample, L=Length of the
    sample
    l=Unit of length of the sample
    w = Unit of weight of the sample.

   The amount of twist is an important factor.
   It determines the appearance as well as the durability
    and serviceability of a resulting fabric
   Fine yarns require more twist than coarse yarns.
   Warp yarns, which are used for the lengthwise
    threads in woven fabrics, are given more twist than are
    filling yarns, which are used for the crosswise threads.

   To retain the twist in the yarns and prevent any tendency
    to untwist or kink, the yarns are given a twist-setting
    finish with heat or moisture
   The direction of twist may be observed by holding the
    yarn in a vertical position. If the spirals conform to the
    direction of the slope of the central part of the letter S,
    the yarn has an S twist; if they conform to the slope of
    the letter Z, the yarn has a Z twist.

The physical properties such
as smoothness comes over
yarn after twisting and
removes loose filaments also

   The number of twists per inch can, in PILED yarns, be
    determined by counting the number of bumps in one
    inch, and divide by the number of singles
    for example, In this yarn the number
    of twists per inch would be 6 divided
    by 2 that is 3

   The term count variation is generally used to express
    variation in the weight of a lea and this is expressed as
    C.V.%.
   The number of samples and the length being considered
    for count checking affects this
