I want to try out a pattern which I think might work in Finca thread (before I buy more to make one my projects in the coming months). I was quite confident that way back I picked up a spool of it in Hobbie Crafts at the same time as I bought the first block pillow for lace when I knew almost nothing about my new craft I had begun to learn. I hunted through my various boxes yesterday and didnât find it and checked the last of them this morning. Instead of Finca I found a thread called Filato per tombolo di cantu and looking at the label I think this is the one I bought new and the other two part spools I must have acquired via another lacemaker since, and yes i realise there is always so much more to learn and enjoy now. I know nothing about this thread but looking closer at the labels one say N 30, one N 40 and the other N 50 (am I right to think that is about thickness of thread?) On the ends of the plastic inner tube around which they are wound they all say GR25. Two of them look like white, not brilliant though and the other has a cream/ecru look to it. Having typed this out I have just got out Brendas magic book of threads and have the numbers listed in there and also checked out the Finca threads as well. What would we Lace makers do without this book?
Can anyone who has used it advise me of how it works up and also I would love to know the kinds of lace you have used it for, even if you just used it for samples. I currently dont have enough hours in my day to personally try out all these things, so am hoping to benefit a little from the knowledge of you more experienced lace makers out there.
