Hello Marianne and everyone A very favourite thread reference is Threads for Lace, by Brenda Paternoster. (may I promote Brenda's book? I shall: http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/threads/threads.html If you have a source of YLI threads, the YLI 70/2 heirloom sewing cotton is an equivalent in measure to Tanne 80; or YLI 100/2, a tad finer. The Egyptian Cotton 80 is close, too.
