Many Thanks for all the prompt responses both on the list  privately.

Thanks again

Since it's early morning here, and Brenda's probably at work, I'll give 
this a try.

Finca is listed in your book under Presencia Finca Bolillos 60.  It's 38 
turns/cm. It also lists Pipers Spun Silk 140/2.  However, if you go up one 
turn to 39 turns /cm, you will find Madeira Tanne/Cotona 50 and Eqyptian 
Cotton 60/2.  These are usually quite easy to find.  These are just the 
tiniest bit thinner but should work fine.

Check your book for other possibilities. You might have one on hand.
Happy lacing,
Alice in Oregon -- where we are having steady rains but I'm celebrating the 
completion of the fan with 13 colors.  You can see it at IOLI in Denver.

Brenda is Finca in your book? I only have version 1.

Failing that where can I get a reel of Finca 60 by Friday?

Thanks in advance
