Select the correct Yarn count for Lycra 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.

Lycra 1x1 Rib 

Say, the require GSM is 220

Yarn count  = (-0.119) X (GSM) + 59.12

                   = (-0.119) X (220) + 59.12

                   = -26.18 + 59.12

                   = 32.94

So, to knit 220 gsm Lycra 1x1 Rib fabric we need yarn count 32.94/s

Thanks & best regards
