I'm not aware of *any* linen thread currently available that is fine enough for point ground.
Fresia linen (Belgian) size 100/2 is about the finest linen generally available but at 32/wraps/cm it compares in thickness to ordinary sewing machine Sylko 50 If you want to make fine lace you will have to either use cotton or silk, or hope to find some old linen somewhere.
