I think that Sue has answered the questions. I'm sure it will be 'au ver a soie' rather than 'du ver a soie' and the platre version of the natural cotton is smooth rather than 'roc' which is cabled (I think double plied like cordonnet crochet threads) or 'stuc' which is loopy. I've not seen it but it's a knitting yarn of three-ply thickness, which in knitting terms translates to fine or lace weight.
