The nearest would be Egyptian gassed 60, or Steff Francis Extra fine
mercerised cotton.

Brok 80/2 is a tiny bit finer, 60/2 a bit thicker.
Presencis Finca 80 is a 3ply thread which will produce a firmer feel to
the lace.

Dear All
After a couple of false starts (don't ask) I intend to restart my
project of working through Barbara Underwood's Bedfordshire book.
However, I have discovered that the thread she recommends for the
pattern I want to do (Madeira Tanne 50) has been discontinued and the
other threads (DMC Fil a Broder machine 50 or DMC? Retors d'Alsace)
don't appear in the stock lists of the UK suppliers' web sites I've
looked at (Jo Firth, SMP, Biggins).
