There still was some 200/2 to be had at the end of last century. I bought a bit of it from Anna Kjems at Lorenzens Gaard. Martina Wolter-Kampmann, who measures and catalogues thread somewhat similar to Brenda Paternoster, must have gotten some, too, because in her book “Faden und Brief” it is listed with the same thickness as egyptian cotton 170/2. I never used it because I never felt I had the proper project to use it on. Also: I have no clue how much it is lengthwise and I’m afraid it’s not enough for an extensive piece of lace. I’d send it to one of you talented ladies researching and reconstructing lace, if you would have it.
