Jane, The only 28/2 linen (that I've seen) is Juul linen, which measured 2S-19 wraps/cm. Bouc 30 or Fresia 30/2 and Guetermann linen are all very similar, 2S-19 wraps/cm. Knox Falcon 30 and Knox Gimp 20 also measured the same but they were discontinued many years ago. I haven't seen Golds

Thanks for the help, Brenda. I know I have never heard of the Goldschild thread. I'm going to have to do some trial and error sampling and if nothing looks correct, it will be shrinking the pattern to fit what thread is available.  Jane O'Connor [EMAIL PROTECTED] New Lenox, IL USA Life is lik

Bingo!! Thank you Verla! I'm with you -- it's likely the twist. Ann, you might try a 3-ply thread. Three-plies are supposed to be more neutral. It would be an interesting experiment. Or try a different manufacturer of whatever size thread you normally use. Hmmm, sounds like the next edition

Hello Sandra Thanks for that info - yes it is Goldschild. Other links to Goldschild on that site bring up the same page. NeL 50/3 - Nm 30/3 is the one size that I don't have, but coming between NeL 30/3 (16 w/cm) and NeL 66/3 (22 w/cm) it is quite likely that it will measure 19 w/cm as per

Thanks ladies! Would you believe a friend [thanks Doris] went to her thread stash and found the Goldschild green label thread? She said it says right on the label equal to 50/3 linen thread. I did see Londonerry linen yesterday but it was all 35/2 and I was looking for 28/2 so didn't bother buying
