Question

In Rib Knitting machine, the Knittable yarn count in 'Ne' is calculated by

• A. \( \frac{\text{gauge}}{8.4} \)
• B. \( \frac{(\text{gauge})^2}{8.4} \)
• C. \( \frac{\text{gauge}}{9.6} \)
• D. \( \frac{(\text{gauge})^2}{9.6} \)

Hint:

The knittable yarn count is directly proportional to the square of the gauge of knitting machine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Understanding gauge and its relation with yarn count Gauge of a knitting machine means number of needles per inch. So, higher the gauge, finer will be the fabric produced. This indicates that yarn count is directly proportional to square of the gauge. The formula used to find out knittable yarn count is \( \frac{(\text{gauge})^2}{8.4} \)
