Hello Rhiannon - As many people have said before, there is no such thing as a "silly" question on this list!! And getting the right thread is critical, not silly!
At any rate, I found "Plum Pudding" in "A visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace" by Geraldine Stott. All of the patterns in the book are worked with the same size thread, which she recommends as Piper's polycotton #2/80. She also suggests Unity 150, Brok 100/2 or 100/3. For the gimp, she used Coton a Broder 18. Her recommendations are interesting, as the threads are not the same weight! Brok 100/3 is heavier than 100/2. But the Unity thread is roughly the same as the 100/3. And you may have used an Egyptian cotton instead, and in that case a 70/2 or 80/2 would have been your choices, I would guess. Good luck figuring out which thread is on your pillow!! Hope this has helped a little.

Not only on the list but I have three people's weddings to go to and a piece of lace would be a unique present.
