Yarn Count for Target GSM (Guide)
The typical Ne range merchandisers start from for a target single jersey GSM. Guidance, not a formula.
Typical count from
26Ne
Typical count to
30Ne
The formula
Published merchandiser guidance bands for 100% cotton single jersey, not a formula: the exact count depends on stitch length and finishing.
Worked example
Target GSM: 160 g/m2. Result: Typical count from = 26 Ne; Typical count to = 30 Ne.
Assumptions
- The only non-formula tool in this catalog: a starting-point RANGE for 100% cotton single jersey.
- Rib, interlock, blends and heavy brushing all shift the band; confirm with the Knit Fabric GSM calculator.
In the platform
Intelactory records which yarn lot went into which fabric roll, dye batch and carton as the work happens, so a count or GSM question traces back to its source.
