Thread counter of the quality of a fabric is the number of threads per unit length in both the warp and waft directions. These are determined normally with the help of an ordinary counting glass a square or rectangular opening of specified size. However, when a great degree of accuracy in determination of picks ends is needed or the weave is too fine to be checked with an ordinary counting glass, this counting is carried out with the help of traverse thread counter.
