The x-ray orientation of fibers could be estimated with the sample in the form of yarn. The ratio of the x-ray orientation to the same measure in yarn form seems to have a correlation with yarn count. Also, as count increases, the orientation of fibers as measured in the form of yarn approaches the orientation of the free fiber. This paper suggests a quick, nondestructive estimation of fiber orientation which may have extensive application in production-monitoring and archeology.
