Introduction
Convert sewing thread and needle sizes quickly and accurately. Our converters help you compare textile numbering systems such as Tex, dtex, denier and Nm, as well as metric and Singer needle sizes. Easily interpret technical specifications, compare sizing systems and identify equivalent sizes for sewing and embroidery applications.
Thread numbering
Textile Unit
converter
The AMANN textile Unit Converter converts textile numbering and linear density systems (Tex, dtex, Nm, NeB, Denier, etc.). Ply construction is ignored.
Entered value
Equivalent sizes
Regarding Nm and NeB: the higher the number, the thicker the thread. Regarding Tex, dtex, Denier: the smaller the number, the thicker the thread.
About the Textile unit calculator
The Textile unit calculator allows you to convert sewing and embroidery thread sizes between different textile numbering systems, including Tex, dtex, denier (den), metric count (Nm) and English cotton count (NeB).
Simply enter a thread size and select its numbering system to see the equivalent values in all other supported systems.
This tool helps you compare thread sizes from different manufacturers, countries and technical specifications. Understanding the relationship between textile numbering systems makes it easier to interpret product data, compare thread thicknesses and select suitable sewing or embroidery threads for different textile applications.
Needle size

- Equivalent size
Equivalent sizes are taken from a controlled lookup table. The conversion does not select the correct needle point or needle system.
About the Needle size converter
The Needle size converter allows you to convert sewing machine needle sizes between the metric numbering system (NM) and the Singer/Size system.
Simply enter a needle size and select its numbering system to find the corresponding size in the other system.
This tool helps you compare needle sizes used in different machine manuals, technical specifications and sewing thread recommendations. Understanding the relationship between needle sizing systems makes it easier to identify equivalent needle sizes and ensure consistency when working with different standards. Please note that needle size conversion does not determine the appropriate needle point or needle system for a specific application.
