[lace] 24 hearts in bobbinlace
Hi I've just bought 24 hearts in bobbin lace by Lene Bjorn and they are so lovely I want to start tonight. The thread called for is 28/2, can't find any mention of a maker. I'm assuming linen and the only one I can find in my edition of 'Brenda'(bought 5 years ago so a wee bit out of date - must treat myself to the new edition) is Juul's 28/2 at 19 wraps. Don't have any of that to hand but I do have a variegated Altin Basak 50 which is 20 wraps. Any ideas if I'm in the right area or way out? jenny barron NE Scotland where it started to snow a couple of hours ago. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Jenny Juul linen is Danish as is the book so that probably is the thread she used. Altin Basak at 20 wraps/cm is only marginally finer so should be IK with those patterns. Linen does usually have a bit more 'oomph' than cotton, but the 3 plies of the Altin basak will help. Go ahead and use it.
