Hi All, I have a cone of thread that still has the original plastic cover and labels on it (including the 9052), and it is the exact same as Lorri's except it is 70/2. The FFR red label does say Fil de Lin Dentelles, so I think Lorri's thread is linen. From several cones I have, at one point it seems the colour of the plastic cone indicated the thread size, green for 90/2, red/orange for 80/2, grey for 70/2, etc., while newer cones seemed to have changed to all sizes having blue cones.
