Finding coloured linen is difficult! If you can't get Bockens 60/2
which is 26 wraps/cm the nearest in colour is either Moravia 40/2 at 22
wraps/cm so thicker, or Goldschild 80/3 (Nm 50/3) which is 24 wraps
/cm
Coloured substitutes for Brok 32/2 which is 31 wraps.cm include DMC
Special Dentelles, 30 wraps/cm or Coats Amman Sylko at 32 wraps/cm.
Sylko will probably work up closer to Brok than than the Dentelles
which being double plied is quite hard in texture.

They use a lot of 'Brok' 32/2 cotton in assorted colours, as well as
'Bockens' 60/2 linen in several colours. I can only find these threads
in
white or off-white, no colours. Have these coloured threads been
discontinued? If so, what would be appropriate subs for these threads?
