I have a class next weekend, and I need DMC Cordonnet Special 60, or Bockens 40/2 or 50/2, or BOUC 50/2 or 60. I have discovered that I do not have these threads in my stash, can anyone please help me with equivalent thread.
According to Brenda's book, all of the above threads are in the 23-25 wraps per cm range. While there are lots of threads in the same range, among the better known ones you also have: 23 wraps: Bockenss 60/3, Campbell 80/2, DMC Cordonnet 50, Coats Marceriseder Crochet 40, Egyptian gassed cotton 24/3, DMC Fil Fleur, Presencia Finca perle 16 24 wraps: DMC Lin pour Dentelles 40, Coats Merceriseder Crochet 50, DMC Broder Special 35 25 wraps:Fresia 60/2, DMC Broder special 40, single strands of the following embroidery threads (cotton): DMC, Anchor, Mez and Madeira, Presencia Fincrochet Tex 19/3 No 50.
Perhaps one of those will either turn up in your stash or will be easy to get (I'd think the stranded cottons, myself)
