Hello Miriam
I bought in Athens the pattern book of "Butterflies in 'sGravenmoerse
Lace". As usual I have no idea what the threads required are.
I can cope with the Colcoton. But what is Gold Rush.
It's a thick glitter thread (67% viscose, 33% metalised polyester) of
chain construction - same as crochet chain. 12 wraps/cm. Nearest
equivalents are Twilleys Gold Dust 20 or Anchor Arista, fine
With my non-existant knowledge of the Dutch language, I coukld figure
out that Waterlilies by Caron is a hand-dyed silk made in the USA,
what would the equivalent be.
It's a stranded silk, 12 strands. The only other 12 strand thread I
know of is Caron Soie Crystale, which I'm pretty sure is the same
thread just labelled differently for different markets. Don't know of
anything else quite like it, and I don't know what silk is available to
you in Israel. A single strand measures 22 wraps/cm which is about a
pearl 12.
