Re: [lace] Re: thread assistance please
That means she used Bockens 60/3 for the white and ecru, and Bockens 35/2 (equivalent to 50/3) for the colours. As Tamara said, if a (fairly recent) pattern states linen thread without a brand name the chances are it's Bockens linen.

It's been my experience that, whenever linen (without a brand) is mentioned in the European books, chances are that Bockens is the one used, especially in odd sizes. It seems to be the most common/easily available brand... But, as Amanda pointed out, quite often there'll be a note of what had been used, somewhere near the beginning of the book. Worth checking for it. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
