In a knitting magazine I bought last week there's an item on wool stashes.
It gives the wraps per inch of the different plies of wool so you can
identify whether you have double knitting wool or 4-ply equivalent or
whatever. They show a couple of wooden gauges for winding the wool round and
one looks very much like a turned thick lace bobbin with the gauge part (the
neck) exactly an inch long. They call it an inch gauge/Wrap per inch tool.
The web link to it doesn't come up with what it should and I haven't found
it by googling.
I thought a lace bobbin which isn't used much, which has a neck exactly 1
inch long (unlikely to be as short as 1 cm), especially if it's a bit thick
could be used as a gauge for lace threads with the aid of Brenda's threads
book.
