Yaspe (Jaspe) silk from Bart & Francis is in Addendum3 and Edition 4,
page 45.
I measured it as 20 w/cm, but it's a slub thread so difficult to get an
accurate measurement.
I have just finished (bank holiday weekend) a torchon edging made with
Filato per Tombolo di Cantu 30 with Yaspe 30/2 for the workers. Not
conventional to mix cotton and silk but I wanted to see how the Yaspe
worked up. The mat's to big to get it all onto the scanner so I'll
need to mess about with the camera to get a proper pic for the website
gallery, but I've added a scan of 1/4 of it to:

Also the thread calls for Yaspe shantung 100% siede, silk, soie Nm
30/2 Nel
50/2
I don't see it in Brenda's book but I think it could be 18 wraps. Am I
correct?
