Thread size

[jrny4wrd]

I recieved a thread size (bonded nylon) 69 and I also have a 207, the thread sizes look the same as I match them up. Are the differences too small to tell by eye, or is there something else going on?

Very big difference.... see chart below.

From memory 69 is just under 0.3 mm and 207 about 0.4mm or just under but the breaking strain is much wider at 11 pound ver 35 pound

It says #69 inside the spool. So that might be the pound rather than thread number? Just seems like a thick 69
