Count: Count Conversion Table

Count:
Count is the measure of fineness or coarseness of yarn.

Systems of Count Measurement
There are two systems for the measurement of count.
1) Direct System
2) Indirect System

1) Direct System
It is used for the measurement of weight per unit length of yarn.
When count increases, fineness decreases. ( count↑ fineness↓ )

Commonly used units in this system of measurement are:-
1) Tex ( 1 Tex = 1g/ 1000m )
2) Grex ( 1 Grex = 1g/ 10,000m )
3) Denier ( 1 Denier = 1g/ 9000m )

2) Indirect System
It is used for the measurement of length per unit weight of yarn.
When count increases, fineness increases. ( count↑ fineness↑ )

Commonly used subsystems of indirect system are:-
1) English System ( 1 Ne = 1 Hank/ lb )
2) Metric System ( 1 Nm = 1 Km/ kg )

For cotton yarn, length of 1 Hank = 840 yards.
