   Nancy,

   Here is a link with some information on silk thread weights.  I have ordered buttonhole weight silk for hand finished buttonholes from Thingsjapanese and was very pleased with their quality.

   A collection of information on thread is found on:

   http://lacefairy.com/ under "Lacemaking", then "FAQs", then "Thread Info." 

   While researching online for you, I also found an interesting glossary of terms related to silk fabric at:

   Enjoy!
