I have some of this...picked it up in Germany a couple of years ago, had
planned to use it for lace knitting but so far it's still in my stash. It
looks like it's about a number 10 crochet cotton (bedspread weight), has a
nice twist.
JulieO in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada...where it might be spring...until it
snows again, nonethless there's lots of sunshine and the snow is melting.

Mez Iris 50g spool, 100% Baumwolle, Made in W.

It has no size numbering on it. Does anyone know if
"iris" denotes the size...and what it is?
Mez is part of the Coats Anchor group. The name Mez is often used in
Europe whereas it would be Coats or Anchor in Britain or US. I haven't
come across Iris before, but it's probably the name of a style of thread
that only came in one thickness so it is in effect the size.
Made in W Germany means that it's a good 15 years old.
