I have just sorted through my box of cotton threads and found part of a spool of the Brok thread on a spool that I mentioned was hopelessly twisted, I hadn't thrown it all away as I thought. It is Brok 100/3.
Yup :) It was the required thread for some class or other, and it was *the only* thread I've ever had any problem with. I did wind the required number of pairs (cursing freely in Polish and English and adding the -- limited -- curse-vocabulary from some 6 other languages) and, once that was done, I *did not* have any trouble working with it (no slipping of the hitches off the head, etc). The lace came out nice and crisp, too. But I *did* toss the spool out aftrewards; life's too short to cope with un-necessary frustrations :)
