Alison, what about Brok 80/2, Presencia Fina Bolillos 80, Egyptian 60 Any of those around?

Re: [lace] Threads query
The nearest would be Egyptian gassed 60, or Steff Francis Extra fine mercerised cotton. http://www.stef-francis.co.uk/index.php?main_page=indexcPath=1 Brok 80/2 is a tiny bit finer, 60/2 a bit thicker. Presencis Finca 80 is a 3ply thread which will produce a firmer feel to the lace.

I've had to replace their Tanne 80 with Cotona 80 and assumed that *all* their Tanne threads had been re-named. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
