I don't know about any of the others and it's way too late at night to
go hunting for Brenda's book to *check*, but I'd have said that EC
50/3 and Madeira Tanne 50 (which is a two-ply) would have little in
common, other than both being cotton. As far as I remember (which,
admittedly, isn't very far <g>), Egyptian Cotton and Madeira Tanne are
fairly close/exchangeable. Which would mean that 50/3 is a third
thicker than a 50/2
Agreed. I think it should be Tanne 30 in that group.
