Thanks for all the replies to this I've checked the prickings in the book - they are all 4mm between footside pinholes, so Egyptian 50/3 would be about 30-32 wpc as Brenda guesses/expects. That being the case, I can happily use my Finca 40 which my local craft shop stocks (but I have to drive up to Canberra for any other sizes).
BTW Brenda, I have a paper pocket stuck to the inside cover of my Threads for Lace, in which I keep a broken bobbin head and neck, carefully marked 1cm down from the base of the head, so that I can check any new thread I come across. Now to get rid of at least one of the three works in progress before I start!
