That is close to 3/0 as I think 6/0 is or close to 140. I find the 140 Ultra a Little stronger than the Danville 6/0 though. That 210 flat waxed is some great stuff and I don't think it can be beat. Is strong and lays flat, what else could you want?

3/0 is closer to 70 denier
6/0 is 140 denier
210 denier doesnt really have number in the old system of labeling stuff.
Basically the denier system is explained like this. The unit of measure is 9000 meters in weight = the denier. So by this system if 9000 meters weighs 140 grams then the denier is 140. So if you buy 210 it is slightly thicker than 140 if you buy 70 denier it is half the the thickness of 140. 3/0 most generally is 70 denier.

Uni 6/0, if you're breaking thread you might want to check your bobbin. If you don't have a ceramic tipped bobbin you may want to check them out, I couldn't do without them.
