But for whatever reason, here in England we can buy Tanne cops in a wide variety of colours. I have pinks, greens, red (I don't seem to go much on blues) in my drawer right now. Actually one of the things on my list for Saturday and Harrogate Lace Day is some 50 in a pale turquoise shade. I think that will come in the cotona range on a small cotton reel.

In Regard to Maderia thread my Austrialian lace friend sent me this information :
The thread all of Europe, Australia and New Zealand called Cotona has been
discontinued. The thread that Europe and Australia calls Madeira Tanne is
still produced. For some reason Madeira Tanne was called Cotona in the USA
and there lies the confusion. The cotona was sewing cotton and was
available in a range of colours, whereas the Tanne is lace thread and is
available only on larger cops in white, ecru and black. Madeira Tanne is
still available. The word Tanne means cotton. <Judith Markham>
