The best thread chart is the book produced by our own Brenda Paternoster,
available direct from her:
Threads for Lace, Edition 5 by Brenda Paternoster
http://paternoster.orpheusweb.co.uk/threads/threads.html
or from Holly Van Sciver in the US:
http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/1Books.html#BobbinLaceManuals
Brenda adds appendices to each edition on her web page as new threads come
to light.
Personally I couldn't manage without it. A good example occurred recently
when I was going to demonstrated and decided on a simple piece - a torchon
purse pendant from Susane Thompson's book of the same name. Hadn't got the
thread stated in the pattern, so looked it up in the book and routed around
in my stash until I found an equivalent. Without the book I'd have been
stumped because it was quite a thick thread by lacemaking standards.
