That's 1.25× as thick as T-shirt cotton yarn, while sewing thread is 1.2× thicker. A 100 g ball would hold about 4,000 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 Nm 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 Nm = 25 tex.
