Which thread is thicker, 30 or 40?
Weight refers to a thread's thickness. In the world of embroidery and cotton thread, a lower thread weight number is thicker than a higher thread weight. This means that a 40 Weight thread is thinner than a 30 Weight thread.

Tex is an accurate measurement and is considered a direct numbering system, meaning the higher the Tex number, the heavier the thread.
