Yes thank you both Sr Claire and Jane Partridge.
I better hunt it out in the book and also mark the spools, checking also see for myself the sorts of patterns it might work up. My memory is not as good as it used to be, my daughter used to ask me when she left school and all sorts of things. Now if its not written somewhere I cant guarantee knowing:-)
Many thanks

I use Filato per Tombolo Cantu quite regularly, being a maker of Cantu lace. It is in Brenda's book. Yes, they are sizes 30, 40 and 50 in 25 gram spools.
On page 34 of TFL edition 5, I find the following:
Size 30     3S     21
Size 40     3S     32
Size 50     3S     34
Does this help?
Sr. Claire

Recently I was given 4 spools of thread from someone who had given up
lacemaking.
Could anyone tell me what the modern equivalent is?
the ones I dont know are Filato per tombolo Canto.  One spool says  ET 30
Gr
25 (I assume it is size 30 and 25 Grams)  ?
the other spool says ET 50 Gr 25.
Also in my box is  another filato per tomobolo di Cantu  N 40  Gr 25.
