Understanding Yarn Counts: Choosing the Right Yarn for Your Garments



    In the world of textiles and garment manufacturing, selecting the appropriate yarn count is essential for achieving the desired fabric quality, durability, and comfort. Yarn counts, often expressed in Ne (Number English), indicate the thickness or fineness of yarns and directly influence the characteristics of the final product. But what do these numbers really mean, and how do they relate to different types of garments? Let’s explore the ranges of yarn counts and their typical applications.

 

Yarn Counts from 16 Ne to 30 Ne: Heavy and Durable

Use: Heavyweight, coarse yarns

Fabrics: Denim, canvas, twill, and other sturdy textiles

Garments: Workwear, jeans, casual trousers, jackets

Characteristics: These yarns are strong, durable, and less soft, making them ideal for tough, long-lasting garments.

 

Summary:

    Yarns in this range produce rugged, heavy-duty fabrics perfect for workwear and casual clothing that require durability over softness.

 

Yarn Counts from 40 Ne to 60 Ne: Versatile and Balanced

Use: Medium-weight yarns

Fabrics: Shirt fabrics, casual shirts, light trousers

Garments: Shirts, blouses, casual wear

Characteristics: Offering a good balance of strength and softness, these yarns create comfortable, versatile fabrics suitable for everyday wear.

 

Summary:

    This mid-range count strikes a perfect balance, making it popular for a wide array of casual and semi-formal garments.

 

Yarn Counts from 70 Ne to 100 Ne: Fine and Comfortable

Use: Light, finer yarns

Fabrics: Dress shirts, blouses, lightweight trousers

Garments: Formal shirts, blouses, skirts

Characteristics: These yarns are softer, finer, and more comfortable, ideal for garments that prioritize comfort and a refined appearance.

 

Summary:

    Ideal for lighter, more elegant clothing, these yarns produce fabrics with a soft touch and a luxurious feel.

 

Yarn Counts from 120 Ne to 200 Ne: Luxurious and High-End

Use: Very fine, high-quality yarns

Fabrics: Fine shirting, high-end blouses, dress fabrics

Garments: Formal wear, luxury shirts, high-fashion apparel

Characteristics: These yarns create soft, smooth, and luxurious fabrics that exude elegance and sophistication.

 

Summary:

    The go-to choice for premium, luxury garments, these yarns deliver a high-end feel perfect for fashion-conscious consumers.

RKM

By
RKM INFORMATION This can be expressed by the “Length of yarn in km” at which yarn will break of its own weight”. This is equivalent to breaking load in g/tex. RKM is the short expression for “Reisskilometer” – “Breaking-kilometre”, which is an unit out of date. E.g.: a Cotton-yarn with 15 RKM means, it would break of its own weight, if you wind off 15 km of the yarn and hang it up in 15 km. Nowadays it is common practice, to use the unit Centi-Newton per Tex (cN/Tex) or gram-force per Tex (gf/Tex). RKM and cN/Tex or gf/Tex are practically the same (a slight difference would be there)   SINGLE YARN STRENGTH (Breaking force) :  This is the force required to break a strand of single yarn. It is expressing Centi-Newton (cN).     STRENGTH (Tenacity) : The Tensile Strength expressed as force per unit linear density is called Tenacity. This is normally expressed as gram force per tex (gf/tex).   CSP (Count Strength Product) : CSP, the bundle strength...
