I did do a wrap test of the Thai silk and it came out between 36 and 37 wraps so probably equivalent to YLI 50, although to my eye when laid next to some YLI 50 it looks a little finer.
Anyway, I have decided to try a piece from Yvonne Scheele-Kerkhof's beautiful Floral Bedfordshire book, and hope I don't upset the purists by making Beds in colored silk. Is it always made in cotton?
