I collect, and have studied, old lacemaking equipment used in the East

bobbin winders are used sideways on with the wheel handle to the right and
the cup to hold the bobbin on the left - I have three all like this in my

I sent this a couple of days ago, but I guess it got lost. Can anyone advise
me?
To clarify, I understand what 2S and 3Z mean, but I don't understand:
1) Why one thread is listed as both; and
2) What the difference will be to the process and the finished product
between 3S and 2S/3Z.
Thanks.

Hello Sister Claire
2S/3Z describes the cordonnet/crochet threads which are plied twice.
First it's spun as 2S and then three of those threads are spun together
in the opposite Z direction to make a 2S/3Z thread.
These 2S/3Z threads are good for tatting and crochet, and can be used

DMC Cordonnet is a six strand thread, tightly twisted. They take two stands
and twist 'S' direction, then take three of these double strands and twist them

Here's my two bits again, contrary to the traditional view.The color of
thread usually used and the color of the pillow are not related. The threads
will lie on the pricking and then on the work cloth that's under the bobbins.
The color of pricking needs to contrast with the threads.
