This morning I received a surprise packet in the post - four reels of thread plus colour charts from Zürcher-Stalder in Kerchberg,Switzerland for inclusion in Addendum5 (and any future editions of Threads for Lace which is a long, long way into the future!).
Mercerised cotton 20/2 - 2S-22 w/cm Mercerised cotton 12/2 - 2S-16 w/cm Schappe silk 120/2x4 - 2S/4Z-20 w/cm Tussah silk 20/2 - 2S-10 w/cm I am pretty sure that the two silks are those used by Marianne Gessendöfer in her book of scarf patterns, and which have in the past proved quite elusive. The Zürcher-Stalder website is http://www.zsag.ch/index.htm Brenda in Allhallows - no connection to the company, just pleased to have received the thread samples. www.brendapaternoster.co.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
