I was just at my local JoAnne's and found Gutermann Silk thread in the 'sewing thread section'. There were about a dozen colors (on spools just like cotton sewing thread). I plan to return and pick up a supply. The thread had a shine and the colors were beautiful but limited. So check at your local sewing supply shops.
Guetermann silk thread is spun silk -- this is less important in lace than in sewing, but if you are accustomed to reeled silk, you could get some surprises. Also check the yardage carefully. When I last lived near a shop where Guetermann was sold, the only clue that I was getting buttonhole silk rather than sewing silk was a smaller number of yards on the spool.
