Default mesh count

Hi There,

I have the following mesh available but i dont understand the format in which it is written.

I have 140-34y , 12-300w , 90-40y among many others.

What do these numbers mean? and whats the difference between w and y?

I understand the standard format that is used on this forum. like 43t 110 mesh etc but i dont understand the ones above. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are they branded? Do you have other screens in-house you can compare them to?

Default Re: mesh count

Is the y for yellow mesh? Is the mesh dyed?

140-34y - could this be 140 mesh yellow? if it's a bolt of fabric is it 140 mesh - 34yards?

12-300w - 300 mesh white? or 12 yards of 300mesh white?

90-40y - 90 mesh yellow? or 90 mesh 40yards?

These are total guesses by me, and I have no idea why the numbering is so strange. It could be mesh count and amount (if rolled) or the color of the mesh.

I'd give them a call like mentioned above to get it figured out.
