Back in the 1980s there was a brief period when linen thread in 140/2 and 120/2 was available, but only for a few years. It has since disappeared. Since 1980, when I started lace making, there hasn't been anything finer, thinner. I don't know what the finest size threads were available for antique laces. Lorelei
