I am looking through a book of Russian Lace patterns and it mentions a thread
called Mouline DMC cotton. It also mentions natural silk, linen and cotton
can be used of appropriate thickness. Not sure I have found the right thing In
Brendas magic book.
I feel this might be an old type thread and
Mouline is stranded cotton so they are possibly suggesting you use one strand,
or more for gimps. Â Quite a few of my Russian lace books have stranded thread
pictured and it's what we were given to work with in Moscow.
The easiest way is just to see which thread is the right size to fit x pairs
Mouline means stranded cotton, so DMC stranded embroidery cotton, Anchor
stranded embroidery, any other brand ... they are all pretty similar.

Thank you ladies, I love to learn from you all. I want to use this on a
piece of clothing so wonder if cotton might be a smarter plan? although
the dress is not cotton, so might the anchor embroidery thread work as well?
Not sure at the moment whether to to try to match or contrast colour.
If you are using it on a piece of clothing which will be laundered, do make
sure that whatever thread you choose is colour-fast

name doesn't mean anything to me
Anyone any idea what thickness MARA 200-30 is? We think it's a Gutermann
