    The document discusses different methods of measuring yarn count including the English cotton count system and metric system. The English cotton count measures the number of hanks (840 yards) of yarn in 1 pound, so a higher count means thinner yarn. The metric system measures the number of 1000 meter lengths of yarn in 1 kilogram or the weight in grams of 1000 or 9000 meter lengths. Identification and properties of single and double jersey knits are also briefly covered.
