What is a indirect yarn count system?
A direct yarn count is a numerical representation of the fineness of a yarn. The Denier system is an example. A yarn with a Denier number of 75 weighs 75 g per 9,000 m of yarn. The higher the number, the thicker the yarn.
What is the difference between microfiber and micro denier?
Microfiber means the staple size in the yarn. Microdenier defines the polyester yarn lessthan 1 Denier
What is 900 denier nylon?
Denier is a unit of measurement applied to silk, rayon or nylon yarn. It is equal to the weight in grams of 9000 meters of the yarn. Generally, the higher the denier number, the thicker and more durable the resulting fabric will be.
What is 900 denier fabric?
Denier is a unit of measurement applied to silk, rayon or nylon yarn. It is equal to the weight in grams of 9000 meters of the yarn. Generally, the higher the denier number, the thicker and more durable the resulting fabric will be.

Denier refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn or fiber used to weave pantyhose. From low to high is fine to heavy.

How do you calculate lycra content in a core yarn?
lycra %ge= yarn count*lycra denier/5315*lycra draft
What is more durable 600-denier duralite or 1800 denier polyester?
I am assuming you are talking about a fabric made from either 1200 or 600 denier yarn. The thickness of the yarn in 1200 denier is twice that of 600 denier, which also implies the fabric will be rougher and ofcourse stronger. If you are looking for strength, 1200 is better. If you want a smoother finish fabric, choose the 600 denier. Hope this helps. Deviprasad
How you can find the length of 20 denier yarn on package?
Length of the yarn is usually noted on packages, either in yards or meters. Lacking that, however, some vendors will help you estimate the length given the weight of the hank. From Wikipedia, as a definition: Denier is . . ."a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers. It is defined as the mass in grams per 9,000 meters. The denier is based on a natural standard-i.e., a single strand of silk is approximately one denier. A 9,000-meter strand of silk weighs about one gram."
