It does give length/weight, 195 m/50 g and it’s a cablé, which, apart from a 
different look, is spun a bit firmer. If you wrap it, it would most likely need 
slightly less wraps than most sock yarns on the market. 

In germany there still are cablès of similar quality around and ebay.de shows 
there are small batches of souvenir on sale. 

HTH, Gabriele

On a separate chart Ravelry says light fingering = 3 ply

[lace] Yarn help, please.

[Elizabeth Ligeti.]

I have just been going though some old Anna Magazines – what Wonderful
magazines they were!! – and one garment I want to make – a tatted Vest!
– needs:-

“Medium Fine wool Schoeller “Souvenir” –(50g/195m/213yds.)

Would this be, -  a 3ply or 4 ply wool?  I wonder if some of you Continental
ladies might know what thickness this yarn might be.  Medium Fine does not
mean a lot ..!
The garment is shown in 3 shades of blue and white, - so it is not a baby wool
– as that is usually very pale colours!!!

Yes, I know --- the magazine is dated 1992 – well, - I did say it was
“Old”!!!  what a pity it ended. There is SO much hand craft work in
them. I am really enjoying going through them again. I am now picking out all
the Tatting Patterns!

Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
