That means she used Bockens 60/3 for the white and ecru, and Bockens 
35/2 (equivalent to 50/3) for the colours.


As Tamara said, if a (fairly recent) pattern states linen thread 
without a brand name the chances are it's Bockens  linen.

Again a guess it is in linen 60/3 but which one!!


It's been my experience that, whenever linen (without a brand) is 
mentioned in the European books, chances are that Bockens is the one 
used, especially in odd sizes. It seems to be the most common/easily 
available brand...


This is what I would say as well, but, Jenny, can you tell us from which 
book it is? May be I have it and can see what I find.
