A few weeks ago Anne Drew sent me some samples of cotton thread which she'd bought in Yugoslavia/Slovenia. One of them is size 30 - the words on the label are: "Idrija Sukanec za Klekljanje, Mojka Jemc" which I think translates to cotton thread for 'Idrija bobbin lace, made by Mokja Jemc'. Does anyone on the list speak/read Slovak language? Anyway the size 30 measured 3S/25 and it's in Addendum 2 list on my website.

I'd like to try the pricking in Indrija Lace by Cook and Tratnik called "Brains", because it looks like A Round Tuit, and I really must have A Round Tuit.
But can anyone tell me exactly what "Thread 30 cotton" means. They say in the "Description" pag under threads that the numbering of cotton threads used in lacemaking is similar worldwide. But 30 Broder Machine is differerent to DMC Cordonnet is different from Coton a Broder is different to Finca and so on. And there is no "30" in Brok or Egyptian which are the most commonly used cotton threads in bobbin lacemaking.
Noelene in Cooma I have a tatted Round Tuit, but that's not enough these days [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nlafferty/
