Pick count weave

Pick count weave Also called woof or weft count. It is an individual filling yarn running the width of a woven fabric at right angles... 

Fabric weave. Fabric weave pattern can influence the properties such as drape-ability, tightness, etc. of a fiber product. The quantities of relevance in this regard are pick count, fabric areal weight, etc. 

The fabric count refers to the number of warp yarns (ends) per centimetre and number of filling yarns (picks) per centimetre. For example, a fabric count of 8.5x4.5 means that there are 8.5 ends per centimetre running in the warp (lengthwise) direction and 4.5 picks per centimetre running in the fill (transverse) direction. Fabric count plus the properties of the warp and fill yarns used to weave fabrics are the principal factors which determine fabric strength. 

Chiffon n. A plain weave, lightweight, sheer, transparent fabric made from fine, highly twisted yarns. It is usually a square fabric, i.e., having approximately the same number of ends and picks and the same count in both warp and filling. 

Pick counter n. (1) A mechanical device that counts the picks as they are inserted during weaving. (2) A mechanical device equipped with a magnifying glass used for counting picks (and/or ends) in finished fabrics.
