Conversion table

9.5 Conversion table
The following table is used for the
conversion of one yarn gauge to
another. The named yarn gauges
mean:
TEX (Tt)
Grams per kilometer
COTTON (NeC)
Number of strands at 840 yds. per lb.
WORSTED (NeW)
Number of strands at 560 yds. per lb.
METRIC (Nm)
Meters per gram
DENIER (den)
Grams per 9000 meters
DECITEX (dtex)
Grams per 10000 meters
Due to the great variety of natural and
synthetic fibers, it must be noted that
yarns with a low specific weight are
often more voluminous than yarns with
a high specific weight. Therefore, the
relationship dtex / den / Nm does not
necessarily correspond to the
conversion result.
