Jenny, I still have a batch of some thread called LBH Tatting Cotton that came briefly on the market some years ago which also twisted like this. Totally useless for tatting, but bearable for bobbin lace. It would be much thicker than Brok 100/3.
When I spoke about this on Arachne, someone said it twisted so much because not only had the individual threads making up the overall thread been twisted one way, but so had each individual thread when they were spun - in other words, it if it was a 3 ply thread, then each of the three plies had either a S or Z twist, then the three plies spun together had been spun in the same direction, S or Z as the case may be.
