14.76tex

That's 4× as thick as a human hair, while T-shirt cotton yarn is 1.35× thicker. A 100 g ball would hold about 6,773 meters.

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 tex

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 = 14.7635 tex.
