Hello Tamara I measured it as 40 wraps/cm
An 80/1 will measure by wrapping slightly thicker than 160/2 in the same thread - because the plying firms the thread up a bit so that it doesn't flatten and spread as much. A 240/3 would measure slightly finer still even though it has the same amount of fibres per metre.

I'll be sending off for the Habu Textiles sample book tomorrow to see what's what in the world of thicker "threads". Though Susan Lambiris tells me that thick threads is not all they have; they also carry 80/1 linen. That's an equivalent -- in thickness -- of 160/2
