Understanding Yarn Count Systems
Direct Systems (Tex, Denier): Higher numbers mean heavier/thicker yarn. They measure mass per unit length.
Indirect Systems (Ne, Nm): Higher numbers mean lighter/finer yarn. They measure length per unit mass.
Tex: International standard. 1 Tex = 1 gram per 1000 meters.
Denier: Common for synthetic fibers. 1 Denier = 1 gram per 9000 meters.
