Yarn Count Converter

Convert between English Cotton Count (Ne), Denier (D), Tex, Worsted (NeW), and Metric (Nm).

Audited by UniqCalc Methodology Team • Formula Checked • Free & No Registration Required

Verified Mathematical Model & Formulation

Ne = 5315 / Denier = 590.5 / Tex
Tex = Denier / 9 = 590.5 / Ne = 1000 / Nm
Denier = 9 × Tex = 5315 / Ne

Converts between Direct yarn numbering systems (weight per fixed length, where higher number means thicker yarn) and Indirect systems (length per fixed weight, where higher number means finer yarn).

Configurable Parameters & Standard Units

  • Input System (1=Ne Cotton, 2=Denier, 3=Tex, 4=Nm Metric): (Default: 1 count)
  • Yarn Count Value: (Default: 30 count)

Standard Worked Example & Practical Verification

Scenario: Converting 30s Ne carded cotton yarn into Denier and Tex.

Calculated Solution
177.2 Denier | 19.68 Tex | 50.80 Nm

Practical Takeaway: 30s Ne is standard medium yarn widely used in 160-180 GSM jersey fabrics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Direct and Indirect yarn systems?

In indirect systems (like English Ne and Metric Nm), higher numbers mean finer, thinner yarns. In direct systems (like Denier and Tex), higher numbers mean thicker, heavier yarns.
