A new method for measuring yam count is presented in this research work. This method depends on weight measurements. Yarn length measurement is avoided because of problems associated with it. The new test method is built on replacing yarn length measuring by weight measuring and then through pure mathematical relations yam count can be calculated. Yarn count is expressed as a function of yam weight and diameter of a cylinder. Before yarn is tested, it goes through a forming process using cylinders of a known diameter to get a new shape which can be mathematically assessed. Formed yarn is weighed. This procedure (forming and weighing) is repeated for another part of the same yam after being formed using cylinders of another diameter. A proven formula is used to determine yam count. The way of yam forming and a way of generating a large number of readings from a small number of procedures are described.
