the formulas are excellent brenda, and i'm totally confused. i was a little mistaken by the size. they sell it in 66/3, but don't worry because i found another maker of 3 ply linen thread which gives the length of the thread. i'm going to write the company (email) and ask what the equivalent size for a cotton size 60 would be, and i hope they will give me an answer. i'm sure they should, and also they have a color chart for their colors! i'm totally in love! i can't wait until i put an order in.
did you major in algebra? are you an accountant? if you are thinking of a major, i would choose one of those subjects if i were as lucky and as smart as you. also thank you for the nel measurements on the thread. i will be looking out for that when i'm shopping around for now on. the company i'm looking at now is "threadneedle street" and the website url is: http://www.threadneedlestreet.com/linthrd.htm thank you for all your help, and i plan to write those formulas in a book and keep it on the inside of a folder with some other bobbin lace reading material. that is not information you can get everyday. > > If the 60/3 spool also has 25 gms of thread on it it will be 25 x 20 > meters = 500 meters long. > > Hope the maths hasn't confused you but there are so many different > ways > of measuring thread thickness, it's a minefield! > See page 6 in Edition 2 or 3. > > Brenda > http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/ > > from suzy in tennessee,u.s.a. __________________________________ Yahoo!
