Of all the *2-ply* linen threads listed in Brenda's little book, in the 21-24 "wrap" range of thickness... *Which* are available in colour? And *where* can I (or anyone reading the IOLI Bulletin) get them?
Jean replied:
As well as the Moravia linen thaat Patty mentioned there is also linen thread by Goldschild from Switzerland. The one labelled 66/3 is equivalent to 40/3 and comes out at 22 wraps//cm. also a lovely range of colours although I'm not sure how many.

Moravia 40/2 (22 wraps/cm) comes in 40+ colours and is now available from quite a few suppliers here in UK and I've just seen it on Holly Van Sciver's and Lacy Susan's web sites. And of course from Atelier Moravia in Denmark; they import it from Czech Republic where it seems to be sold as unbranded linen lace thead.
Goldschild 80/3 (24 wraps/cm) and 66/3 (22 wraps/cm) both come in a limited range of colours.
However, these are both 3-ply threads, you specifically enquired about a 2-ply. Goldschild is marketed in USA as Londonderry Linen.
The only other linen that I know of in that size range is HV Garn Lintrad (21 wraps/cm) which comes (came) in little skeins. I have a few left in my stash and it mixes well with the Moravia, but although it's on Holly's website she says it's being discontinued and the last time I saw it here in UK Tim Parker had it discounted to get rid of it.
