Glossary of Hosiery Terms. Type of heel on a fully fashioned stocking whereby the reinforced part is squared off above the back of the ankle, rather than tapering to a point (which is a Point Heel). See our Cuban Heel Stockings. Denier is the term used to describe the thickness of the hosiery. In simple terms, the more 'see through' (or sheer) the hosiery the lower the number, and the thicker or heavier weight of the hosiery (or opaque), the higher the number. The denier of the product will determine how the product will look on the leg. 10 denier or less.
Denier Measurement. The denier is obtained by weighing 9,000 meters of yarn or thread, expressing the result in grams. Thus the denier is a measure of linear density expressed in terms of grams per 9000 meters.Since a yarn with a higher denier has more mass per unit length than a yarn with a lower denier, it is thicker and tougher, provided that both yarns are made of the same kind of material.he fiber number multiplied by the number of fibers in a cross-section of the yarn equals the denier value of the yarn. Synthetic materials, such as polyester, may have fibers with fiber numbers less than one. The linear density of such fibers are measured in smaller units called microdeniers.
