Sylko 50 (which is all you can get nowadays) compares very well,
thickness wise, with DMC Broder machine 30. Sylko 40 is a bit thicker.

I've succesfully used sylko cotton along with DMC Broder Machine 30. I
inherited a large boxful from my mother-in- law & it's been very
useful when I've wanted a coloured thread.

Subject: [lace] Thread comparison
In a sale I picked up some thread which hasn't been manufactured for
a long
time, Sylko size 40 Mercerised cotton. It was originally made for
sewing
and comes on 100 yard plastic spools. The colours I got were deep
blue,
purple and cerise. I'm going to use them for lace to applique on a
light
blue T shirt.
This thread is too old to be in the thread comparison book I own. Has
anyone
ever used it, and could give me some opinion as to how it compared
with the
recommended thread for a pricking. Size isn't crucial for my use, I
like
very open lace to use for applique, but a starting point to
experiment with
would be handy.
