Thank you, Brenda, Clay and Alice for your comments. I guess that shows one should never assume. I knew that different fibers, cotton, linen, wool, silk etc., have different numbering systems but I also thought that a size 60 was a 60 was a 60 no matter how many plies it contained. Never thought that the size would indicate the size of the individual ply. Thank you for clearing that up. I wonder how I missed that important piece of information?
For years I've used Holly's thread comparison chart but I can see that your book would be a good addition, Brenda. Is that available for purchase in the US? What are the chances it would be available at Ithaca in Oct.? I've convinced my husband that he deserves a relaxing fly fishing weekend in New York that just happens to be the same weekend of the Ithaca Lace conference. ;-) Thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. It's always a good day when you learn something new. Dona in Groton, CT Looking forward to hearing if I rec'd one of my two classes of choice at Ithaca. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
