Do you have any more information such as brand names? I looked in my German
thread book and supplements (Thread and Pricking) and the listings are by
brand.

Otherwise I will give a ballpark idea:
Tussah-Seide 20/2 is silk 20/2, e.g. Treenway, go to
www.treenwaysilks.comto see it  (roughly pearl cotton 5 size)
I used it for a BL scarf.

Schappeseide is also a silk, maybe similar pearl cotton 8, guessing by the
Nel number
Is this also for a large lace?

Schappeseide 120.2 will be quite fine - Treenway silks also has a 120/2

Baumwoll is cotton, garn is yarn and Hakel is hook, so I'm thinking it is  a
crochet cotton 20
Look at the lace, if it is coarse, then crochet cotton will probably be
about right.

Leinen 50/2 is linen 50/2, e.g. Bockens, Fresia
ditto linen 16/2 (try a weaving supply place for that size linen).

Hope this helps.
