Re: [lace] Finca threads

[Claire Allen]

I too only have good things to say about this thread. I have a piece of 
Bucks Point that has been on the pillow for about a year now. As I have 
decided that I am not likely to get to finish it I decided last week to 
cut it off. This pillow with at least 150 pairs on it has been stored 
(very badly in my cupboard for at least the last 8 months, during which 
time, thinks have been dumped on it and it has been tipped over at 
least twice. When I went to cut it off there were only 2 broken threads 
out of all those bobbins on the pillow. This thread is a 100 or a 120 I 
think, certainly no thicker than that.

A good testament to the threads strength in my opinion.

Now back home after a wonderful trip to Brugge. Thank you so much for 
all the tips of places to visit. Especially Milada who emailed me a 
whole A4 sheet of information. We had a lovely time visiting all those 
places that you recommended.

Hello all,
As a Finca user and Spanish lacer at the same time, I want to make my
comments about Finca's threads. I also think that Elizabeths's friend 
has
been very unfortunate to get this bad reel of Finca. But this is 
really not
the normal thing to happen. I have been using Finca for many years (8 
or 9
to be more precise) and I have never had any problems. I have 
especially
used number 30, 40 and 50. Also the result of this thread after 
washing is
not bad, although there are other threads which I like more, as I have 
said
some other time. But this is just a matter of taste. I have never found
thread in bad condition, nor knots nor anything. Perhaps your friend 
should
give Finca another oportunity!
Many greetings from
