Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Thread Weight Converter (Tex / Denier / Ne), formulas, and typical use cases.

What is tex in thread measurement?

Tex is linear density in grams per 1,000 meters of yarn or thread. Higher tex means a heavier yarn.

How do you convert tex to denier?

Multiply tex by 9 to convert to denier, because denier is grams per 9,000 meters.

What does Ne mean for yarn count?

Ne is the English cotton count and is an indirect count system where higher Ne means a finer yarn.

Why does Ne move opposite to tex and denier?

Tex and denier are direct systems (higher number = heavier yarn), while Ne is indirect (higher number = finer yarn).
