Super idea! I've never felt competent enough to do my own measuring
with thread - it's not always uniform, and it's not easy to wind so
that the threads *just touch*, without overlapping. And, being
obsessive, I also worry that the measurements change depending on
tension in winding; thread does stretch, and, when it does, it gets
thinner...
Actually a softly spun 2 ply thread will flatten and *appear* to be
thicker (fewer wraps/cm) than it really is when when its wrapped with a
bit of tension.
But wire should be easier (famous last words?), so perhaps, I'll have
a go at it (during the Convention week and between the bouts of
canning <g>)
Will you be writing "Wires for Lace"? ;-)
