If the pattern is 2mm diagonal, it's only 1.41 straight, so 2.82mm
between the footside pins (in torchon) so Fil a Dentell will be WAY
too thick, so will Madeira 30. You'll need something like 45 wraps/cm.
Bart & Francis do a Schappe silk 210/2 that size, and Piper's spun
silk 210 /2 is 46 w/cm.
Cottons of that sort of thickness are Brok 100/3 (44 w/cm), Brok 120/3
(46 w/cm) Egyptian gassed 70/2 (46 w/cm) and Presencia Finca 80

something like 30 madeira. Again experiment, or use Brenda's book.
