Doily Thread
Does anyone know what size thread is Bedspread weight thread?
A friend of mine is crocheting a name doily and the intructions require bedspread weight thread, but neither I nor her know exactly what size thread that would be.
The most common size of thread is size 10, also known as "bedspread weight" (there seems to have been some historical variation in size here, but pattern publishers now say they're the same thing). Size 5 is thicker than size 10. Thinner sizes of thread go down from 20 to 30, 40, 50, and so on down to 100. As usual in the thread crochet tradition, bigger size numbers mean finer thread (and whose clever idea was that, anyway?).
