I can't see it in Brenda's book. Probably the easiest way for you to find 
the wraps per cm, is to wrap some thread round a ruler or  pencil or bobbin 
for 1 cm and count for yourself. If you let me know what the wraps/cm are, I 
can them find a comparable thread in Brenda's book for you, and let you know 
the suggested pricking size

[lace] A bit of History on Ebay!!!!!!

[Stitchnowl]

Hi all,  Just to let you all know (that's if you might be interested)  that 
my husband has listed some OIDFA Bulletins and Lace Guild Mags on  Ebay.  We 
are in the UK and they are being sold to add some funds to  our local 
Lacemaking 
Group.
 
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope that I haven't offended  
anyone by writing this.
 
Regards and Happy Lacemaking to All,
 
Babs and Gerry Short

No, I haven't seen that thread (yet!)

The way I make a wrapping is to draw the parallel lines exactly 1 cm 
apart, using the computer, and print out onto paper.  Then take a strip 
of the paper and fold it around a small piece of card so that it's 
stiff enough to handle and the lines are straight across the width.  
Wrap so that the threads lie close together, touching but not 
overlapping and count.   I then repeat the winding - if it's the same 
number that's it, if it's different I rewind again and generally two of 
the three windings will have given the same result.
