“Count is a number which indicates the mass per unit length or the length per unit mass of
yarn.”
Types of Yarn Count:
Basically, there are mainly two ways of yarn count;

2. Indirect count System
Direct count system:

(within EU).
In a direct yarn counting system, the yarn number or count is the weight of a unit length of
yarn. This means the higher the yarn count number, the heavier or thicker the yarn. It is fixed
length system. This system is used for express the count of man-made fiber, jute, silk etc.

Tex, Denier, Pounds per spindle is the unit which is expressed in direct system.
Tex: The yarn number or count in the Tex system is the weight in grams of 1000m or 1 km of
yarn.
Denier: The count of yarn in the denier system is the weight in grams of 9000m or 9 km of
yarn.

Pound per Spindle: The yarn count in pounds per spindle is the weight in pounds of 14,400
yards of yarn. Jute count is expressed by this system
Indirect count system:

In an indirect yarn counting system, the yarn number or count is the number of “units of
length” per “unit of weight” of yarn. This means the higher the yarn number, the finer or
thinner the yarn. It is based on the fixed weight system. This system is used for express the
count of natural fiber.

English count, Metric count, Worsted are expressed in indirect system.
English Count: It is defined as the number of hanks (840 yards) per pounds. It is denoted
by Ne.
Metric Count: It is defined as the number of hanks (1000 m) per kg. It is defined by Nm.

Different Methods of Yarn Count Determination:
Beesley Balance
Wrap Reel Balance

Determination of yarn count by Beesley Balance:
Beesley Balance: When a cotton yarn is supplied in short length or removed from fabric, the
count of yarn can be measured by a special type of balance is called Beesley’s balance.
Fig: Parts of Beesleys Balance
Procedure:
At first collect denim sample.

In this sample, the warp direction yarn color is blue and weft direction yarn color is
white. First of all, 12 yarn withdrawn in warp direction from that fabric. Again 12 yarn
withdrawn in weft direction.
Marking all withdrawn yarn by template and cut them.
Now placed that yarn in hook until the pointer comes in level with the datum line.
At that stage the threads are taken out and counted which givers directly the count of
yarn taken for testing.
Sample Attachment:
Ok
Experimental data:
For warp:
For Weft:
Ok
Result Representation: 3 results were taken in the beesley balance m/c where the warp
and weft yarn of the denim fabric was taken. We got 3 different result. After calculating the CV
% (coefficient of variation ) we can say that the warp and weft yarns in our denim sample are
quite different from each other.
Determination of yarn count by Wrap Reel Balance:
Wrap Reel Balance: A wrap reel is a device for measuring yarn and making it into hanks of
a standard size. The reel is of a standard size and its revolutions are counted as the yarn is
wrapped around it.
Ok
Fig: Wrap Reel Balance
Procedure:
1. Make lea by Wrap reel.

2. Weight the lee by analytic balance.
3. Convert the weight gram to pound.
4. Now the data are put equation
5. Now calculate the count by the equation.
6. Now average counts are calculating which is cotton count of this sample.

different results on our samples. The count was different. The CV % was o.7 % so we can say
that the yarn in the cone package were all not the same. So, the weight and count were
different.
Conclusion:
From these tests we have come to learn about the ways we can measure the count for yarns.
We have also learned about the processes in which we do it. I will help us in our career in the
long run.
