Hi Sue
Assuming "Oliver" means Oliver Twists there are several options.
Their machine cotton (on a reel) is 3Z-28 w/cm - same as ordinary Sylko
There's a stranded embroidery cotton which compares to most other
brands.
Also skeins of cotton; medium is 2S-12 w/cm compares to other brands of
pearl cotton 5 whilst the fine size at 2s-21 w/cm compares to pearl
cotton 12.
Oliver Twists also have a thick chained glitter thread which is a bit
thicker than Goldrush and a spun silk which is slightly thicker than
the thickest of Piper's spun silk or the most readily available
Guetermann silk, 100/3.
Does that help?!
