Twist
The number of turns per inch and the direction of turning of the pile fibres or ply or yarn strands placed together. Twist direction may be either right (Z-twist) or left (S-twist). Most carpets range between 2. 5 and 6. 0 turns per inch (TPI). The approximate twist level must match the yarn size and the textural effect desired. It is the manufacturer's responsibility to determine the twist level.
