I havenât seen any Aurifil 80, but from looking at the size ranges of other 2Z threads Aurifil seems to be nearer to DMC Machine Broder which is slightly finer than Egyptian gassed and Madeira Tanne/cotona. The w/cm will *probably* be in the mid 50s.
The finer the thread the less difference a wrap or two makes. The difference between, say 27 w/cm and 30 w/cm is noticeable. The difference between 50 w/cm and 53 w/cm hardly shows at all. Brenda > > When I saw the 80 pop up over a year ago, I bought some, and it seems as nice as the other Mako sizes, which I love, so I bought it. But since I am a devotee of the Threads for Lace book, I waited with anticipation for her measurement for wraps per cm so I could confidently use it. Frankly, wraps per cm seems to me to be subject to individual ideosyncracy, so the same person wrapping leads to consistency. It comes in colors. I have been told privately that it is similar to Tanne 80.
