Hello Jenny
Juul linen is Danish as is the book so that probably is the thread she
used.
Altin Basak at 20 wraps/cm is only marginally finer so should be IK
with those patterns. Linen does usually have a bit more 'oomph' than
cotton, but the 3 plies of the Altin basak will help.
Go ahead and use it.

Hi I've just bought 24 hearts in bobbin lace by Lene Bjorn and they
are so
lovely I want to start tonight. The thread called for is 28/2, can't
find any
mention of a maker. I'm assuming linen and the only one I can find in
my
edition of 'Brenda'(bought 5 years ago so a wee bit out of date - must
treat
myself to the new edition) is Juul's 28/2 at 19 wraps. Don't have any
of that
to hand but I do have a variegated Altin Basak 50 which is 20 wraps.
Any ideas
if I'm in the right area or way out?
Brenda
