What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Linear density per end (tex) | Enter linear density per end in tex; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Yarn length (m) | Enter yarn length in m; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Identical parallel ends (ends) | Enter identical parallel ends in ends; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Mass is for all entered ends over the stated length.
Common mistakes
- Do not multiply ends again if tex already describes the combined yarn.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.

What yarn mass corresponds to a stated length and tex?
Calculate yarn mass from tex and length from the stated quantities. Mass is for all entered ends over the stated length.
Common uses
- What yarn mass corresponds to a stated length and tex
How it works
mass=tex*length*ends/1000
Worked example
Enter Linear density per end: 20 tex; Yarn length: 1500 m; Identical parallel ends: 3 ends. Results: Estimated yarn mass: 90 g.
