The count of Yarn is a numerical expression, which defines its fineness. Spun Yarns are only roughly circular in cross-section and irregularity in thickness is unavoidable. Filaments Yarns with only a small amount of twist in them are referred to as a flat yarns with solid bodies.
A definition of Yarn Count is given by the Textile Institute  (UK) : Yarn Count is number indicating the weight per unit length or the length per unit weight of yarn. However, various counting systems using different units of weight and length are in use.
