Yarn
A continuous strand of fibers used in tufting, weaving and bonding to form carpet and other fabrics. Carpet yarn is often plied and may be either spun staple or continuous filament.

Yarn count
A number used to describe the size of the yarn. Denier is used for BCF yarns, and cotton count for spun yarns.

Yarn Dyeing
Applying color to yarns before tufting or weaving it into carpet.

Yarn Ply
The number of single yarns ply-twisted together in a plied yarn

Yarn Size
The weight measure of the total bundle of filaments making up a yarn which indicate if the yarn is fine or coarse. Continuous filament yarns are sized by the denier or decitex system. Spun yarns are sized by the cotton count system. (See "Denier"or "Cotton count.")

Yarn Weight
Total amount of yarn used in the manufacturing of carpet. It is measured in ounces per square yard.
