And a BIG HUG to you Bev!!! Thank you for sending me to the Opera--I actually own some of this thread & love it for Roumanian point lace. I didn't make the connection with Anchor/Coats/Patton et al but I'm OK now after some extra Googling at your suggestion! I found Coats Freecio filo de Scozia (Italian) in Brenda's book & how could they not be the same thread with a slightly different spelling?? The Freecia threads I just bought are made in Hungary & IMHO, they are not the same as the Opera. The Freecia seem more firm--just what I was looking for. What's really cool is that the w/cm is 17 for both DMC perle 8 & the Freecia vs 13 for Opera. I love it when a plan comes together--now if I can control the 3Z instead of the 2S twist, I'll be in business. Will let you know how this all works out. Thanks again. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
