   abbrevation for normal metric, a symbol for the density of worsted yarns. Yarn is described as a/b Nm if it is a-ply (has a individual strands) and there are b kilometers of yarn per kilogram. An example might be 2/40 Nw, describing a 2-ply yarn having 40 kilometers per kilogram. If the yarn is single-ply, the a is often omitted, so a single-ply yarn is described as b Nm.
