So itâs saying to use size 80 crochet cotton for lace around a handkerchief.
If the pattern says DMC then it does mean Cordonnet 80 or Special Dentelles 80 (which I believe is the same thread, just that Cordonnet comes in big balls and white and ecru only, Special Dentelles comes in lots of colours but in small balls). If the lace edging is crocheted or tatted that would probably be the best choice, but IMO the 6-ply threads such as Cordonnet isnât the best choice of thread for bobbin lace to surround a hankie because it works up crisp, almost hard. For a hankie edging I would choose a 2-ply or 3-ply thread to make the finished lace softer. Brenda > > Häkelgarn is German. And Taschentücher is the plural of Taschentuch and this is in English a handkerchief. And here it means thread for lace around a handkerchief. > The mention brand is DMC but if Cordonnet or spez. dentelles isnât clear if not mentioned on the label. And this isnât always so. > > Brenda in Allhallows paternos...@appleshack.com www.brendapaternoster.co.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
