Beesley Balance The count of yarn is defined as a number indicating its Weight. In DIRECT SYSTEM, the count is the weight of a Unit Length of yarn. For example –

“TEX” is number of grams in one Kilometer Length of yarn; “DENIER” is number of grams in 9000 meters of yarn. In indirect system,

the count is the number of unit of fixed length of yarn that makes a fixed weight: For Example “COTTON” is number of hanks of yarn in a Pound, “METRIC” is

number of Kilometers of yarn in one Kilogram. Irrespective of the system of count, two basic requirements for determining count are:

a) An accurate determination of Sample Length, and

b) An accurate determination of its Weight.

The method of determination of count depends to a large extent on the form in which the yarn is available for testing.
