  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "The number of warp threads per inch in a woven fabric, a key determinant of the fabric's density and texture. This count is established during the weaving process by the reed, which spaces the warp yarns. A higher sley count results in a denser, often stronger fabric, while a lower count produces a more open weave.",
