Diana,I agree with you about DMC threads - I either use Brok or Egyptian Cotton, both being threads made specifically for lace making. They hold their shape well when finished too. I was really turned off using DMC after watching lace exhibited in the local show - all the pieces made with DMC or similar wilted whilst on display, whilst those pieces made with Brok, Egyptian cotton or linen looked as good at the end of the show as they did at the beginning.
Another thread I like is Presencia Finca - the 80 is about the same size as Egyptian Cotton 90 or Brok 100/2, and the 100 equals Egyptian 100/2 or Brok 120/2 Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia) --- Diana Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've found that DMC threads tend to get a bit fluffy after a while - my > favourite fine Floral Bucks Point thread is Kantklosgaren Egyptian Cotton > 70/2, which when worked has a nice sheen. > I almost always use ecru but that is a personal preference. > Diana http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
