There are several ways to determine the yarn weight i.e. worsted, bulky, fingering, etc. The easiest way is to determine the number of yards per pound of yarn. the more yards the finer the yarn. A worsted weight has about 900 - 1200 yards per pound. there are several web sites that offer this information and if you need a better definition all you have to do is search the web for sites that have knitting resources listed in them. You can also determine the number of wraps per inch. The wood dowl that is used to determine the wraps can be found at the back of most yarn supplier catalogues. this also is a simple method although I have not used it my self I see it refered to a lot in knitting magazines and books.

What is the difference between yarn and fabric?
All three terms refer to textiles in different phases of production and development; from basic raw material to finished product. They are all the same thing, but they are nothing like each other. The three terms are not interchangeable.Fabricis the finished product. It's sold on rolls, cut and sewn into articles of wearing apparel, curtains and bedding, etc. Fabric can be either knitted or woven. The knitting or weaving is done with the yarn.Yarn is the basic component of weaving or knitting textiles. Yarns can be so fine as to be measured in micrometers, or it can be as thick as bulky knitting yarn. The word "yarn and "thread" can be used interchangeably, although there is a semantic difference which will be mentioned later. In textile manufacturing. The yarns/threads are set up on a loom and woven or knitted on large knitting machines.Yarns and threads are spun from fibers. Fibers can be natural, such as cotton bolls, wool fleece, polyester rovings, rayon linters, all are merely bunches of fluff with little substance. On their own, fibers have little tensile strength and can't be used for anything other than stuffing a pillow. But when fibers are spun they become stronger. A large machine will draw out the fibers and spin them into long fine strands. When several strands of spun fibers are twisted together they form thread/yarn. Then the yarn goes to the mill where it is woven or knitted into fabric.Fiber-yarn-fabric. Fabrics are made from yarn/thread, yarn/thread is made from fiber. So you will be making whatever it is you want to make from fabric. In addition, yarn is often used to refer to thicker spun fibers, such as you find in knitting yarn. As the spun fibers become finer, it becomes known as thread, such as what you find on spools of sewing thread.

What Factors Would Influence the Textile Tensile Strength?
The tensile strength of textile can be divided into three types: as for the woven fabric, one is tensile strength, most of fabric can reach this demand, if not, the development of this fabric is unsuccessful, can not be used to make clothing. The second is tear strength, tear the sample a hole first, then use the strength tester to tear the sample and test its sustainable strength, this is a key index and has much more substance. As for the knitted fabric, the index to check the fabric strength is bursting strength. The most relevant to the knitted fabric bursting strength are the yarn strength and fabric weight, if the fabric yarn strength is poor and the fabric weight is light, there will cause problems. The yarn fineness: as for the same material, the thicker the yarn, the better strength, so this fabric strength is higher. The yarn twist: in general, the yarn strength increase with twist, after reaching certain extent, the yarn strength decrease with twist, but it won't happen in general. The fabric density: generally speaking, the higher the fabric density, the more yarn dosage per unit area, so that the fabric strength is bigger. By YULONG FR tex
