DENIER

This term is the measurement of weight and thickness of the thread of yarn used in hosiery. The lighter
and finer the yarn, the less it weighs and the lower the denier.

SHEERNESS

The sheerness of hosiery is determined by the combination of:

  • Denier
  • Stitch construction - the more complex, the less sheer
