Ne is the cotton count system — shown as an equivalent, since Italian mills label in Nm.

Why lower Nm = thicker yarn
Nm tells you how many meters fit in 1 gram. Thinner yarn = more meters per gram = higher Nm.

1g of 2/60 yarn gives you 30m of thread. The same 1g of 2/11 gives only 5.5m — because the yarn is much thicker and heavier per meter.
