When we do counts for silk we use yards per pound. Silk, Cotton, man made fibers all have a fixed count of 840.
Denier gives grist or thickness of thread which is what you ( Brenda) use. However for weaving yards per pound ypp is used to describe yarns. Was finding a measurement she could use based on what she knew about the yarn to find an equivalent.
