to convert from Tex to Metric to Yarn Size.
Tex Size is the gram weight of 1000 meters of greige yarn (undyed without finish). Tex Sizes are bracketed as you can see
above. When assigning a Tex Size, you always drop back down to the beginning Tex number in a bracket. For example, a actual
Tex of 29.5 would be properly label a Tex 27. A actual Tex size of 100 would be labeled a Tex 90.
Denier is the gram weight per 9000 meters.
Yarn Sz is the number of 840yd hanks per pound
