Fil Fleur is no longer produced. Colcotton is Dutch (see my links).
Colcotton 34/2 = 29 dD (see

Should equal Campbell Trademark 80/3 (sheepshead, England)
Campbell linen - which was Irish, not English - is no longer made either. Bouc 50/2 or Bockens 40/2 would be very similar substitutes.
For Fil Fleur the nearest substitute is probably Madeira Perle 12. DMC Perle 12 is a tad thicker as is Colcoton 34/2.
Mez Reflecta is a fine metallic braid. I measured it at 26 wraps/cm. which is just a little bit thicker than the fil fleur.
I can't identify Madeira Spectra. There are a couple of dozen different Madeira metallics which go by product number (in UK) plus a few Madeira rayons.

Subject: [lace] Thread comparison
While in Prague I bought some patterns from the Netherland LOKK group. The
language isn't as much a problem as the threads required for the pattens.
Would could I use as equivalents to the following:-
DMC Fil Fleur which is equivalent ( so it seems) to Colcoton 34/2 Madeira Spectra Mez Reflecta mettalic
