The finest coloured cootn thread I know of is Tanne/Cotona 80 - same thickness as Egyptian gassed 80/2. If you want colour in finer than that it would have to be silk. Piper's Fine Twisted silk comes in colours and compares to Egyptian Gassed 140/2 Brenda =========================================================== Bjarne has 120 (3 ply) and 250 (3 ply) unboiled silk in colors. I have several of the colors and it is wonderfully fine and wonderfully strong. http://home0.inet.tele.dk/drewscph/silkefarver.htm Also Piper's Silks has Fine Twisted Silk, 2/20, 4/20, 6/20 in colors. http://www.pipers-silks.com/ 2/20 silk, now that's what I call invisible thread!
