Abstract

A method for determining the effects of a fancy yarn by measuring the yarn diameter. The yarn sections between the effect areas are referred to as webs. The effect area is determined in that the beginning of the effect is defined by meeting a first criterion and the end of the effect is defined by meeting a second criterion. A specifiable number of the largest diameters is determined between the beginning and end of the effect, an average is formed from the diameters determined, which is specified as the diameter of the effect, and the effect length is determined from the beginning and end of the effect.
