14.76Ne

That's 1.33× as thick as sewing thread, while denim yarn is 1.75× thicker. A 100 g ball would hold about 2,500 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 tex to Ne

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 tex = 14.7635 Ne.
