The optimum twist factor of jute yarns has been found to lie between 24 and 26 tex-tpc units (✓tex × turns per cm), irrespective of yarn size and fiber quality. For the same fiber and twist factor, yarn tenacity is practically steady above 300 tex but diminishes rapidly below that level of thickness.
