Campbellâs 50/2 = 18 w/cm. 60/3 and 70/2 are both 22 w/cm. Knoxâs LC 20 = 18 w/cm As Jane says these are tablecloth weights, ie torchon with 6mm-7mm between foot edge pins for the Campbells 50/2 and the Knox 20; 5mm or 6mm between the foot edge pins for the 60/3 and the 70/2. Knoxâs LC 60 is a bit finer at 31 w/cm which is about the same as most 3ply cotton sewing machine threads, or size 80-100 crochet cottons, use for torchon with 4mm between foot edge pins, heavy Beds or Bruges etc. BTW - it was W.J. Knox Ltd, (not Knox LTP) and LC was the product - sometimes called LC lace thread - I donât know what LC stood for though. It should be in skeins (UK use of the word skein ie small hanks) with gold and red printing on the labels.
