the spools either have the weight/ply on the end of the spool or on the wrapper-
it will say
50/3
or 60/3
or 100/2
or 12/4 (very thick thread!-my nephew bought that one once)
what ever it is- 40-60 wt threads are the most common- available everywhere- the second number is the number of strands (ply)
