I don't get a lot of time to make lace these days but when I do its usually
Bucks and I have a stash of old tried and tested threads that I can use so
haven't invested in any new ones for years.
The thread I need is for fine Torchon so its a nice surprise that there is
such a range of colours in the Aurofil 50.
Once again thank you to everyone for your help.
Diana

Diana, I have used Aurofil 50 for needlelace and it works up beautifully.
I haven't tried it for bobbin lace - yet, but I am sure it would be
excellent.
I have the larger cone of off white/creamy colour, rather than the small
reels
that come in a wide variety of colours. I also have a cone of Aurofil
#28 -
It would be OK for bobbin lace, but is more loosely spun, and Not nice for
needlelace.
I find Finca is excellent, too, for both disciplines of lacemaking.
You won't go wrong with either of them.
Refer to the Threads book for equivalent sizes.
Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz.
