Dear Brenda, Sue and all, Thanks for your kind help. The thread's website says it is 0.16 mm in diameter... Maybe we can work out how many wraps we can get using that value. Thinking of all other lacemakers, I'd rather send Brenda a sample so she can work her magic for the next version of her book, and also send her samples of a famous Spanish cotton thread, "Hilo Japonés" (which almost everyone calls "The Japanese Lady" thread) in sizes 70 and 80, so we can get the equivalence and wraps/cm of those as well. Brenda, please let us know how to send you samples and what information to include! Cheers,
