Can anyone be more specific? What do you mean by "fine linen thread"?
I ask because lacemakers look at my work and say "isn't that fine!" when I'm using 80 cotton. Which isn't fine at all. I would consider a fine cotton to be about 160 to 180.
We used to get fine linen thread from Ireland and when that was no longer available changed to Swedish Bockens. Campbells Irish linen was still available but not in the finer threads.
