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.
