[lace] Knox's Gimp Lace Linen Thread

2014-08-01 Thread Jill Hawkins
Is anyone familiar with Knox's Gimp Lace Linen Thread, 2 cord, 60?  A friend won
a spool in an auction recently and is keen to know what thread this might
compare to.  I have looked in Brenda Paternoster's book and found some other
sizes of this thread, but nothing that is 2 cord, 60.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Jill

Knox’s Gimp, Lace linen is listed (page 21 in Ed 5) but I haven’t seen it as 
fine as size 60.
2-cord just means 2-ply, which all of the other sizes of Knox’s Gimp are.

Because there are eight other sizes listed I’ve drawn a graph with size on one 
axis and w/cm on the other, and it comes out as a fairly straight line so I 
would predict that size 60 will be around 38-40 w/cm
