What is the Yarn Metric Count? Let Salud Yarn answer your question! Salud Yarn is a China nylon yarn and polyester yarn supplier with good price!

We knew the yarn count conversion from the last video, and I am going to explain all the yarn count units one by one. Let's start with Metric Count. 

Metric Count indicates the length per unit weight of the yarn. The unit symbol is Nm.

The larger the value, the thinner the fiber or yarn. For example, there is 1 kg of 130 Nm yarn and 1 kg of 260 Nm yarn, the 130 Nm yarn is thicker than the 260 Nm yarn because in the same weight, the 130 Nm yarn is shorter, so it must be thicker.

Just remember, in the Yarn Metric Count System, the larger the value, the thinner the fiber or yarn.
