Wet Spinning Count

Linear Density

Numerical systems for identifying the fineness of linen yarn describe the relationship between the length and the weight of the material. The wet spinning count specifically refers to yarns produced through a process where the flax roving is passed through a hot water trough to soften the pectins. This allows for the creation of much finer and smoother threads than dry spinning methods.

Manufacturing Method

Attaining a specific wet spinning count requires precise control over the drafting ratio and the temperature of the water bath. As the flax fibres slide past each other more easily in the wet state, the spinning frame can produce the high counts required for fine shirting or handkerchief fabrics. The count is measured in lea or metric units depending on the target market.

It defines the texture of the finished cloth. This method allows for a tighter twist and a more compact yarn structure. Higher water temperatures generally lead to a more thorough softening of the lignin.

Finish Application

Grading of the yarn depends on the uniformity of this measurement throughout the entire bobbin. A consistent wet spinning count ensures that the woven fabric has a smooth hand and uniform opacity across the width of the loom. If the count varies beyond the allowed tolerance, the yarn is rejected for premium apparel use.
