[lace] gimp thread vs coarse thread
Hello All! Brenda, thanks so much for the tutorial on gimp thread sizing. How handy is that!?! May I ask if this same ratio applies to coarse threads in Honiton or Mirecourt? I'm taking a Honiton class shortly & the primary thread is Egyptian cotton 100/2. The teacher suggested DMC cordonnet 60 for the coarse thread. I own both 60 & 70 & she said 70 would work too. In looking at the threads, the 60 seems a bit beefy, while the 70 seems more subtle. On the other hand, perhaps the greater contrast will make all the difference once it's off the pillow! We wouldn't want wimpy Honiton!!What should I be looking for here? Many thanks.

Re: [lace] IOLI Bulletin
Dear Fellow Aracheans, When the question was asked about when the next issue of the I.O.L.I. Bulletin was due to arrive in mailboxes, I was in Paris for the week. I had proofread the magazine earlier in September, for the Editor, who unfortunately is not a subscriber to Arachne. It is due to be mailed in early October, so members should be receiving their copies soon. Enjoy reading it when it arrives.
