How many Yagyopavitam/Yagnopaveethas one should wear?
It is said that a Brahmachari (unmarried person) should wear only one Yagyopavitam/Yagnopaveetham that has three strands. A Grihastha (married person) should wear two such Yagyopavitam/Yagnopaveethas. It is in practice to wear three Yagyopavitas/Yagnopaveethas by a Grihastha, the third one that acts as an Uttareeyam (upper dhoti).
What should be its length of the Yagyopavitam?
When you wear the length of Yagyopavitam/Yagnopaveetham should come up to the navel level and it should not go below the waist.
Colour of Yagyopavitam
As per scriptures, it is said that, sacred thread should be white in color for Brahmins (all brahmin Samudayam), Red in color for Kshatriyas and, Yellow in color for Vysyas.
But in practice we find all people using Yagyopavitam/Yagnopaveetham which is white in color.
