Tidbits for the curious
Tex System: The Tex system was created as a standard of consistent thread measurement. The Tex standard uses 1,000 meters of thread per gram as the starting point. This means if 1,000 meters of thread weighs one gram, it is Tex 1. If 1,000 meters of thread weighs 25 grams, it is Tex 25.
Fine Tex Threads...Tex 9 to Tex 20
Medium Tex Threads...Tex 21 to Tex 70
Heavy Tex Threads...Tex 71 and higher.
