What it means
How thick is that?
Reference values are typical. Hair varies a lot between people, and wool weights between brands.
The math
How to convert Ne to Nm
tex = denier ÷ 9, tex = 1000 ÷ Nm and tex = 590.5 ÷ Ne. The indirect counts are reciprocals, so thicker yarn gets a smaller number.
Example: 40 Ne = 67.7345 Nm.
