According to Yarns-And, there are yarn standards, which you can review by following the link, below.
The first number of a yarn count (D) generally indicates the fineness of the yarn (how thick it is). The second number (F) indicates the fluffiness or hairiness of the yarn. The last number indicates the number of plies in the yarn. Example: 75D/72F/2 is a 75 denier (75 g/9000m), 2-ply yarn with a hairiness or fluff index of 72. The fluff index becomes important in weaving where it can change the optical effects of the woven fabric. There are several different systems for measuring yarn hairiness. The F-index method appears to be from a patented Japanese method of measurement.

Usually made in China, these yarns or threads are used for basting, lace, wrinkle effects, marker or temporary stitching, etc. The threads/yarn will dissolve when the garment is submersed into water, making it easier and more cost effective (faster) to make clothing products. The yarns/thread come in various sizes (thickness) and are made to dissolve in different water temperatures.
Cottonclouds and knitmap are two good sources for information. Annies catalog is a store that has information as well. Yarn Market is a yarn superstore.

Like a dry yarn but depending on the yarn material and what is wetting the yarn, the fibers could be more spread out or pulled together tighter. The wetting agent may have the same index of refraction as the fibers and in that case the yarn would almost disappear leaving mostly impurities in the field of view.
