That’s interesting.

The Madeira UK website has no mention of cotton threads at all that I could
find! but Barnyarns, one of the biggest embroidery/haberdashery retailers do
stock cotona so it must be available.

DMC also seem to have stopped making machine embroidery thread (which is what
Tanne and Broder Machine is/was designed for).

The nearest alternative I can suggest for a fine, coloured cotton thread is
Superior Threads Masterpiece - with this caveat:
The reel I have is clearly marked as 50/3, and I have measured it as 2Z - 38
wraps/cm
On the Superior Threads website
http://www.superiorthreads.com/cotton-threads/
<http://www.superiorthreads.com/cotton-threads/>
they say that it is a 3 ply thread, 50/3.  If that is correct then they have
changed the construction and it might now be rather thicker.
