Hello Amanda
This topic came up a while ago. Although Karen Marie Iversen refers to
"lurex" thread, Lurex is a brand name and what she uses is NOT Lurex
brand, although it is a metallic.
It's one of the finer Madeira metallic threads which she uses; Madeira
Art No 9842 comes up several times in the .pdf file - that's Madeira
Metallic No 40 (35 w/cm), but also Art No 9807 which is No 6 (18 w/cm)
and Art no 9809 which is No 12 (20 w/cm).
There are so many different Madeira metallics, but I *think* she uses
Supertwist, in white/translucent for the worker pairs.

Partly answering my own message, I managed to find a web page from the
publisher http://www.akacia.dk/UK/Modern.htm where they give a link to
a conversion table for the threads used and also point you to Bart and
Francis for the Lurex, trouble is the only method of payment they
offer is bank transfer and because we aren't in the euro our banks
tend to charge, does anyone know if they take any other method?
Thanks
Amanda

Subject: [lace] Thread help
In an effort to get back my interest in lacemaking I bought Modern
Bobbin Lace by Karen Marie Iversen but I'm having trouble with
identify the thread she refers to as Lurex 7005 which she describes
as translucent. Looking back in the archive Jean said one of her
students used a sparkly white thread and that's a possibility along
wih one or two others in the 27 w/cm range but if anyone has tried a
different thread (or found the original thread) then I'd love to
know.
