Does anyone know what those threads compare to in thickness (wraps/cm)? Retor d'Alsace cotton - no. 40 and 60 on eBay. I guess it's comparable to Broder Machine 40 and 60 which are given in
Brenda's book as having 36 and 46 wraps/cm. The intended use is as couching and/or filling thread for Carrickmacross lace or
Brussels needle lace - will that work?
yes they are almost the same. I would go for the 60 which would work if you use it to couch the thicker thread in Carrickmacross as well as being used to produce filling stitches. The 40 would be too thick for couching but not thick enough for the cord.
