I noticed yarn often labelled as 14/3, 8/1, 8/2, etc. If Nm 8/1 and 8/2 mean 1-ply and 2-ply yarn respectively, the 2-ply yarn should have an actual 4 m/1 g thickness since two threads make the yarn twice as thick. So why label it 8/2 instead of 4/2 to reflect the real thickness?
It's the system that works like this. It's simpler to think that 8/2 means that 8 is the yarn count of the single yarn, then you put another number which is the number of the plies.
hi sir im study textile in University in Iran . you have good channnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnel
Thank you!
