Just a small correction, Dear Spiders I surveyed various bobbin lace threads too, Brok, the KantKlosgaren Egyptisch katoen and the Presencia Bollilos and found surprising variation there as well as in the crochet cottons. More than Brenda noted on arachne a while back and then reported in a letter in the April 2010 issue of Lace on the Coats Cometa threads.

The photos show the different visual effect of using differently constructed thread for the same stitches, though obviously no photo can really show the tactile differences. There is also a lot of useful information about the way thread comes off a spool. It's a useful addition to the library of anyone interested in threads.
