My local suppliers - Lace Inspirations, has a Comparative Thread Sizes
chart (Guide Only)
and they show Egyptian Cotton 50/3 in the same column as Madeira Tanne 50,
Zwicky silk 100/3, and Brockens Fresia linens 80/2.
Hope this helps.
Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz,
where is is cold, and
I'm also looking for Egyptian Cotton thread, as fine as possible. Any
ideas welcome.
Not Egyptian cotton I know, but Finca thread is nice. Makes a nice lace
especially for Bucks IMO. It is a spanish thread and is stocked in the
UK by Roseground Supplies. Another supplier has also started
Finca comes in many numers: 30, 40, 50, 60 and the finest is 100. I have
used it for Tonder, but the Danish thread is finer (120 I think). It is made
in white and ecru.
Have a nice weekend. Antje, from Spain.

Does anyone know of a supplier (preferably in UK or Europe) who has some
Egyptian Cotton 70/2 in natural white? They only seem to make it in optic
(bleached) white now, and this is too bright for the fabric I'm using
Thanks in advance
