Dear Francis
The Shetland wool spinners of whom I am a satisfied customer, but otherwise unconnected, give what I think are the details you require. The website is www.shetlandwool.org, and clicking on “products” gets you to the wools. The “lace weight” yarns are dyed, the one-ply being 1/14.5NM, the two-ply 2/14.5NM. The “Shetland Supreme” ones also have lace weights, one-ply being 1/16NM, two-ply2/16NM. I hope this does mean enough to you; there are some other statistics which I also don’t understand.
From a practical point of view, the Supreme is worsted spun and undyed, the range of colours (including black, grey and a dark brown) are what the sheep come in, and works up much finer than the ordinary dyed. Using the ordinary, I get a tension of 44st to 10 cm on 1.75mm needles, and use 108st for a sock for a small but perfectly-formed leg (mine). The Supreme, admittedly on 1.5mm needles to get a suitable fabric, requires 180st.
