There are lots of different threads made by Gütermann. The cotton threads and the silk threads are fine for lacemaking so long as the thickness is suitable for your pricking (though most are Z twist to suit sewing machines and a few lacemakers really prefer S twist thread on bobbins). The polyesters are OK if you expect the finished lace to get frequent laundering, although lace made from polyester does have a âhardâ feel to it, and the metallics are good for accents/gimps.
Amongst people who sew, Gütermann thread is generally reckoned to be as good as any. > > Are Guttermans threads suitable for lacemaking?
