Hello Julie
Daliam cotton is not in Edition 3, or Addendum 3 as I've never seen it!
If anyone has some......
Looking at the scale of the pricking, and the picture of the lace, I'd
guess that it's some sort of pearl cotton. Also if you measure the
average pinhole distance (it comes to 4.5mm) and then look at
http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/lace/threadsize/threadsize.html
you'll see that 10 wraps/pinhole space for that scale needs a thread
measured at 22 wraps/cm - give or take a couple of wraps. DMC and
Anchor Perle 12 are both 21 w/cm so substitute either of those.
That threadsize chart is in Ed 3 instead of the sample prickings.
BTW, you do all know that you should look at Addendum 3 from time to
time as it gets updates as and when anything different turns up. I
bought some more Bart & Francis threads yesterday at Tonbridge and Pat
gave me a few more Valdani
samples; they have just been added.

Thread help
The October pattern in the Lace Guild calendar for a tape lace pumpkin
caught my fancy. It's made by a Spanish lacemaker, Maria Jose Jovez
and calls for Daliam cotton thread 50 #12. Has anyone ever heard of
this thread? I want to use some crochet cotton from my stash and it
would help to know approx. what weight it is so I know how to adjust
the pricking. So far I haven't been able to track it down. I have
only the second edition of Brenda's thread book, and I don't see it
there. I'd appreciate it if someone could check to see if it's in the
3rd edition (I need to get a copy) or possibly someone knows of this
thread or has used it.
