YARN COUNT CONVERSION

(1) Yarn Count Definitions

Metric Count (Nm):
Nm  =  m / 1-g
Denier Count (den):
Den  =  g / 9000-m
English Cotton Count (NeB):
NeB  =  840-yd / 1-lb  or  NeB  =  768.1-m / 453.59-g
Tex Count (tex):
Tex  =  g / 1000-m

(2) Yarn Count Conversion Factors

From metric count (Nm) to others:

Tex  = 1000 / Nm
NeB  =  0.59 x Nm
Den  =  9000 / Nm

Enter a number in Nm field, then click outside the text box or enter. 

From Nm:

To Tex:

To NeB:

TO Den:

From denier (den) to others:

Nm  =  9000 / den
NeB  =  5315 / den
Tex  =  0.111 x den

Enter a number in Denier field, then click outside the text box or enter.

To Den:

From tex count (tex) to others:

Nm  =  1000 / tex
NeB  =  590 / tex

Conversion examples:

[ Ex. 1:     NeB 30 = 5315/30 den = 177 den ] [ Ex. 2:     150 den = NeB 5315 / 150 = NeB 35 ] [ Ex. 3:     NeB 20 = Nm 1.693 x 20 = Nm 34 ]
