I've found a term "warp yarn count". This might be better.

agree  Will Matter: Maybe I should've said "This answer is also completely acceptable". The term "total number of strands" is understandable but I think that "thread count" is a little more concise. Please don't misunderstand me, i'm not disagreeing.
