80/3 means three of those threads plied together, so 840 yards of cotton 80/3 weigh 3lbs.
Should have been *80 times 840 yards of cotton 80/3 weigh 3lbs*

Also: The Goldschild thread you have is NeL 80/3, Nm 50/3. That means three plies of linen thread. On the Linen number (NeL) 300 yards would weigh 3lbs On the metric number (Nm) 1,000m would weigh 3kgm
Should be: *On the linen number (NeL) 80 times 300 yards would weigh 3lbs* *On the metric number (Nm) 80 times 1,000m would weigh 3kgm*
That's what comes of writing things in a hurry! Sorry folks. Brenda
