Some Fabric Knowledge About Knitted Fabrics

1. Yarn count of knitted fabrics
Pure cotton yarn is a single yarn or strand of certain fineness and unlimited length spun from cotton. It is suitable for weaving, knitting, thread making, rope making, etc. Its specifications are often expressed in imperial count. The imperial count (Ne) of cotton yarn is defined as: the number of lengths of cotton yarn with a common weight of one pound. Calculation of the imperial count of cotton yarn: When the moisture regain is determined, the number of 840 yards of cotton yarn weighing one pound is called the number of British counts. For example: if it contains 32 840 codes, it is called 32 British branches, and so on.

Medium count yarn: 19-29 inch pure cotton yarn. Mainly used for knitted garments with general requirements. Fine count yarn: pure cotton yarn with a count of 30-60. Mainly used for high-grade knitted cotton fabrics. Finer count yarn: pure cotton yarn with a count of 60 or more, used for high-end knitted cotton fabrics.
