I'm sorry but I don't understand what Noelene means by this - there's nothing on page 7 of Ed 5 about percentages. > > I bought Ulrike Voelcker's new "Discover, Explore, Master Torchon" > book and she mentions using the Brildor 30/2 cotton thread.

All the other 30/2 cotton threads are in between 25-32 wraps/cm, mostly 30 or 32, so it's likely that Brildor will be similar. Are the prickings in the book drawn on a 2mm grid (4mm between foot-edge pinholes)? That is the optimum scale for torchon using 30 w/cm threads. As Deborah suggested if anyone has any of this new thread I'd love to have a sample to measure (about a yard/metre/armlength) and would of course add the measurement to Addendum5.
