Hi fellow Arachnids, For netting I tend to use DMC Cordonnet anything from 40 to 100 depending on the size of mesh-stick (the stick used for measuring the holes) used . A little experimenting with different mesh-sticks will soon give you the result you want - just watch the balance between the thickness of the thread and the size of your mesh-. Use a slightly thicker and softer thread to work the fillings ie DMC Mouline or one of the thinner knitting cottons (I like the soft cotton used for baby clothes) or bamboo yarn.
Confusingly the holes in your netting AND the measuring sticks are both called meshes so I try to remember to call the measuring sticks the mesh-stick ;-). Happy lace making. Joepie, East Sussex UK.
