Dot Goetsch is having problems with her e-mail and asked me to forward this request to you kind souls. Jeanette Fischer, Western Cape, South Africa.
Dear Spiders, I am needing some help with threads. I am wanting to work on a Bayeau lace piece in the Book La Dentelle de Bayeau by Mick Fouriscot and Mylene Salvador. Unfortunately I am only english speaking and am following the instructions only by the diagrams. The thread called for is 'coton egyptien n [small degree o] 80' and a gimp of 'cordon de lin n[small degree o] 18/3' which is fairly easy to decipher, but when I look at egyptian cotton in Brenda's book find it written as 80/2. Will this be the same as the former, or what would be the thread count for a substitute? Thanks Dot Goetsch Port Elizabeth South Africa Where our drought continues while the rest of the country is having more than enough rain.
