Pulling out my Paternoster/6, I see the following linen threads are in range:Bart & Francis 130/2, 34wpc; Bouc 110, 37wpc and 140, 46wpc; C&F 120, 37 wpc, 140, 46wpc; DMC Lin Floche150, 40wpc; DMC Lin pour Dentelles, 70, 40wpc; Fresia 140/2, 36wpc; J Harris & Sons Pure Flax Lace Thread 140, 44wpc; Knox's Dragon350, 52 wpc; Knox's Falcon Best 120, 39wpc, 140, 150, 160 to 42wpc. That's all I can find in that range, and that's not a whole lot. And I bet a lot of these are discontinued. If your heart is set on linen in this weight, I'd shop in Europe, as Etsy's Provolace doesn't have anything remotely close. Sorry about that.
