Does anyone know if it is still possible to get bobbin lace patterns from old
Anna Burda magazines? In no 7 from 1990 patterns for some of the laces are not
included in the magazine but it was possible to get them from Burda in Germany

I am looking for recommendations for a filiment silk thread (not spun
silk, I'm hoping to compare the two!) that is approximately the same
size as Gutterman silk 100/3 (28 wraps / cm)

Hi Brenda - both are 3-ply, so you're probably right
Can't do a test wrap myself, unfortunately - never had the manual

prickings to be obtained (at the time) from Anna) and has only small segments
