Fiber -> Yarn structure

1-D (Fiber, yarn)

-Micron (micrometer)

-Tex (g/km) : weight in gram per 1,000 m

-dtex(g/km) : weight in gram per 10,000m

-Yield (yd/lb) : yard per 1 pound

-Denier/den (g/9000m) : weight in gram per 9,000 m

Etc. ECC, NeC, Ne, NeK, NeW, NeL, Lea, NeS

​

2-D (textile)

-GSM (g/m²) : weight in gram per 1 m² of textile

​

High denier -> thick fiber

High GSM -> thick textile

​
