The fabric count is a way of expressing the yarn. It is usually expressed as the English count (S) in the “fixed weight system†(this calculation method is divided into two types: the metric count and the inch count), ie: Under the condition of moisture regain (8.5%), how many counts are the skein of 840 yards per twist of the one-pound spun yarn.
What are the benefits of having more counts?
The higher the count, the finer the yarn, the smoother the texture of the wool, and the higher the relative price, but the fabric count is not necessarily related to the quality of the fabric. Fabrics larger than 100 can be called "super". The concept of the count is more suitable for worsted fabrics. It has little meaning for woollen fabrics. For example, the woollen fabric like Harris has a low count.
The larger the count, the finer the yarn
The count is the most important indicator to measure the quality of a fabric. It is easy to understand. In fact, it is to describe the thickness of the yarn branch. The larger the count, the finer the yarn, and the diameter of the 250 wool has reached 11 microns. The finer the yarn, the more refined and delicate the fabric is woven.
The higher the density, the better the water resistance
Because of the high density, high-count fabrics can also be waterproof. Liquids such as red wine, tea, and juice spill over the clothes. Don't worry, the liquid will only roll on the fabric without penetration. This function is made. The clothes are also a little less careful and more free and easy.
Pursuit of ultra-fine yarn is not necessarily a good thing
Too fine yarns are extremely difficult to produce and are easy to break. For example, a Chinese group has produced 300 fabrics, but because of poor performance, it can only be displayed on fabrics, and there is no practical value at all. Therefore, in the pursuit of ultra-fine fibers, we must first ensure that the raw materials have superior performance.
More than 100 fabrics of less than 300 are currently popular high-end fabrics. Whether there are more than 300 fabrics with very good performance in the future can be expected. Maybe there will be such super-high fabrics in the future.
Simply put, the quality of the fabric is not directly related to the number of fabrics, but the larger the yarn, the more delicate and soft the fabric; the higher the fabric density, the better the waterproofness of the fabric, so if there is a requirement for the waterproof function of the fabric It can be judged according to the density of the fabric.
