oops no, not 60/3 linen, not that many yards. sorry - that is a fairly thick thread, as others have pointed out - the linen size is different from cotton - I was thinking in terms of the 25 grams. Linen 60/3 is close in size (a tad thicker, actually) to DMC Cordonnet 30, or DMC Cebelia 30 - these should be available at a 'store near you' - might be an idea to invest in a ball, they're not expensive, and test your lace pattern, before you order the linen. From a sample you can get an idea how much thread you'll need - and you might decide it will look ok in Cebelia.
