Select the correct Yarn count for 1X1 Rib fabric:

In my post I will introduce you with some equations, with which we can select the actual yarn count for knit the fabric. These are vary for fabric types.

1X1 Rib 

Say, the require GSM is 200

Yarn count     = (-0.123) X (GSM) + 54.57

                   = (-0.123) X (200) + 54.57

                   = -24.6 + 54.57

                   = 29.97

So, to knit 200 gsm 1X1 Rib fabric we need yarn count 29.97/s

Thanks & best regards
