Which yarn for which saree?
Georgette and crepe need high-twist crape yarn; georgette uses it in warp and weft, usually alternating S and Z twist. Chiffon is lighter, with finer twisted yarn. Satin uses smooth, bright flat filament (FDY) so the floats shine. Everyday dress material is mostly woven with DTY.

Georgette
A grainy, springy fabric from high-twist crape in both warp and weft, alternating S and Z twist so the cloth stays balanced. Common counts are 50/48 and 75/72 semi-dull crape.
Crepe
Crepe usually puts the crape yarn in the weft, sometimes with a flat filament warp. The result is a matt, pebbled surface with good drape.
Chiffon
Lighter and more open than georgette, woven from finer deniers with twist. The finer the denier, the sheerer the fabric.
Satin
The shine of satin comes from long floats of smooth yarn, so it uses flat filament, often bright or super bright FDY, in the warp.
Dress material and daily-wear sarees
Most of these are woven with DTY in semi-dull, for a soft hand and good cover at a steady price. Tell us the fabric, the loom and the look, and we will suggest a count.
