There seems to be a lot of discussion about threads lately, so wonder if anyone in France can help me? I am currently working on a Point de Gaze parasol cover using 180 cotton thread for the background net, which I bought from Susan Cox at the English Lace school in Tiverton many years ago. The thread was sold for making Honiton lace and although the gauge is okay, I do find it rather soft/limp and it does tend to fluff somewhat. Can anyone tell me what type of thread is currently being used for Alencon needlelace? I need something very fine but with a little more 'body' to it. I have tried the Finca but believe that No 100 is the finest they produce and I need something finer than this.
