Chart Comparing the Thickness of Different Thread Brands
Several months ago, somebody here shared a chart that compared the scientifically measured thickness of different brands of thread, all of which were labelled as the same weight.
i thought i'd bookmarked that web page, or downloaded the chart.
i guess i thought wrong because i can't find it.
does anybody remember?
did anybody bookmark/favorite it?

I used a microscope to look at different brands of thread. Wow, it was an eye opener. Most of the good brands looked like barb wire, all of the cheaper brands had big slubs, no wonder they shred going thought the needle. Most of the top brand were smooth and I could see why they cost more. The cheaper poly thread looked worse then the mid priced cotton thread.
