Textile calculations: : being a guide to calculations relating to the construction of all kinds of yarns and fabrics

The size of the yarns, technically known as their "Counts" or numbers, are based for the different ra V materials (with the exception of raw silks) upon the number of yards necessary to balance one (1) lb. avoirdupois. The number of yards thus required (to balance 1 lb.) are known as the "Standard" and vary accordingly for each material. The higher the count or number, the finer the yarn according to its diameter.
