Hello Judith
In the book Modern Lace, the author calls for "Translucent Lurex
thread". Can anyone tell me where in the US this can be obtained or
what the equivalent would be? Thanks.
Who's the author of this book? What sort of lace is it?
Lurex is a brand name, and registered trade name, of a whole range of
glittery threads (100s of them) produced for industrial use, but you
very seldom find them available at retail outlets. In fact the only
time I've ever seen Lurex brand on sale was some years ago on a market
stall in Gravesend, Kent, UK, and the only word on the label is 'Lurex'
plus the (R) symbol, so I really don't know which of the dozens of
unsupported Lurex yarns it is.
According to their website
http://www.lurex.com/index.html
there are several transparent yarns both polyester and polyamide, but
without a lot more info it's impossible to suggest an equivalent
thread.
