I wonder if the thread used in your pattern is the DMC Special Dentelles 80? This is the same thickness as the DMC Fil a Dentelles 70 and comes in small balls and lots of colours. That is the only thread I can find listed in Brenda's book which is 3 ply, except for a Spanish 80/3 which is very fine.(Hilatura Finca Bolillos)

Hello lacemakers,
I have a few questions about thread.
I found a pattern that I want to do, it is a pattern by Karen Trend Nissen.
On the pattern it has a note: 24 par tr. nr. 80/3 B. I think it means 24
pairs, thread # 80/3 Bomuld (cotton). Is this correct? Could anyone please
tell me what thread I could use?
I went to my thread collection and found linen Goldchilds Nel 80/3, Nm 50/3,
which at first I thought I could use until I decided that the B meant bomuld
(cotton).
Now I am really confused. Why the 2 numbers on the thread?
Are linen and cotton threads numbered differently? Please help!
Thanks for any help,
Irene Whitham Surrey, BC
