The Ne count system, also known as English Cotton Count, is a method used to measure the fineness or thickness of cotton yarn. It is an indirect system where the yarn's size is expressed in terms of length per unit weight.Here's how it works: * Ne value: It represents the number of hanks (840 yards each) of yarn that weigh one pound. * Higher Ne value: Indicates finer yarn (more yards per pound). * Lower Ne value: Indicates coarser yarn (fewer yards per pound).Example: * A yarn with a Ne value of 40 means that 40 hanks (40 * 840 = 33,600 yards) of that yarn weigh one pound.Why is it important? * Yarn selection: Helps choose the right yarn for specific textile applications based on desired fabric properties (e.g., softness, strength, drape). * Quality control: Ensures consistent yarn quality throughout production. * Pricing: Used to determine the cost of yarn.Other yarn count systems:While Ne is commonly used for cotton, other systems exist for different fiber types: * Denier: Used for filament yarns (e.g., ny
