ERROR that should be size 8 perle cotton NOT size 80
I am getting ready to do a demo for the boyscout's tomorrow and
discovered
that the thread I thought I had is not there (student may have
borrowed it
and forgot to tell me) I needed to use a 80 perle cotton. I want to
use a
80/3 linen. Can someone let me know the % of size change I need to do
to
the pricking so it would work right? I can't find my conversion book.
DMC perle cotton size 8 = 17 wraps per cm
80/3 linen (Fresia, the only easily available 80/3 I can find in
Brenda's book) = 26 wraps
If your pricking is scaled for perle 8, you need to copy it at 65%
(17รท26), to use 80/3 linen.
Hope this helps. And, being devoid of all but lace-related content,
doesn't offend your sensibilities.
