[lace]thread gauge
Seeking help from good spiders. About ten years ago, I bought a thread gauge that was a transparency with various grids on it that you could lay over your pricking to see what type it was, ie. 5mm diagonal, 1/8" straight, etc. Then it had a one page guide of suggested thread for a particular grid such as 16/2 Swedish linen, or 5 DMC pearl cotton for example for the 5mm diagonal grid. On the page it says: © 1991 The Lacemaker USA. Can anyone tell me anything about the gauge and/or it's maker? As I have helped beginner lacers, I always have someone who would like to purchase this. Does anyone know if there is something like this available from one of the vendors out there? Thank you for any help.

[lace] Thread Gauge
I got a thread gauge very similar to the one you mention from Makit Lace in England. Their phone no is 01480 810810, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't thjink they have a website. The gauge comes with a book comparing different threads. I find it invaluable, and use it all the time. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, I don't believe she sells those thread gauges. I may be wrong- -you can check at http://www.lacemakerusa.com I think Holly Van Sciver sells a different-but-somewhat-similar thread gauge that might suffice. Robin P.
