vintage yarn question

[leaette]

i have a vintage pattern that calls for :

J. & P. COATS KNIT-CRO-SHEEN

 

what is a current equivelent to it? what weight is it?

 

the pattern calls for a steel hook in no. 6. worked in one strand at a time.

Knit Cro Sheen is a currently available crochet thread see the following:

http://store.knitting-warehouse.com/crochet-thread-coats-knit-cro-sheen-crochet-cotton.html

 

It is like Southmaid or the other Size 10 crochet cotton.
