46 wraps/cm so Pipers spun silk 210/2.Anyway (she says, getting to the point) I want to make a garter for my friend's wedding, so can anyone suggest a suitable equivalent to 70 Egyptian white. Pipers Silks threads would be ideal, if there is an equivalent.
The pattern is the garter on P40 of "Weddings, Christenings and Anniversaries in Lace", and also calls for four "single strands of Anchor Marlitt blue". I presume this is some sort of stranded embroidery thread (it's to be used as a gimp). Again, if anyone can suggest alternatives, I'd be very grateful.
Marlitt is a viscose rayon thread - a single strand measures 20 wraps/cm Gutermann 40/3 spun silk = 20 wraps/cm Pipers Twisted Gloss 50/3 = 21 wraps/cm Pipers silk gimp 34/2 21 wraps/cm
