Australian Thread Sizing?

[leatheroo]

So i have been buying poly thread from the thread exchange because i can't work out the aussie thread sizing system. I have spent many hours researching this, but i can't seem to find a plain answer anywhere.

I know i what to buy US size 69 and 138 thread and the thread exchange has a nice chart for thread size to needle size. I found Anne Bonnys Locker selling 40 ticket thread that says is equivalent to #69 so that gives me some idea.

Can anyone tell me the equivalent aussie sizing or point me to a conversion chart that makes sense?

cheers and thanks

I'd also like to know an answer to this. It's doing my head in.

Try this -

Heavy Weight

TEX Metric Far east Needle

T-60 50 M50 110 / 18
T-80 36 M36 120 / 19
T-105 27 M27 125 / 20
T-120 25 M25 130 / 21
T-135 20 M20 140 / 22
T-150 18 M18 160 / 23
T-180 14 M14 180 / 24
T-240 12 M12 200 / 25
T-300 8 M8 230 / 26

P.S. 135 equals 138 (American)
