I was in JoAnne Fabrics yesterday and came across some small spools of Coats
silk thread. Â The label reads Coats 100% Seta Reale and 80m-nr100 made in
Hungary.
I did not see it in the Threads for Lace Edition 5 book but maybe it will be
in the new Edition.  How does it compare in wraps?Janice Â

Just about any thread can be used to make lace including wire and garden
string, but…..
With BL the thickness of the thread has to match the pricking, and generally a
smooth, evenly spun thread is preferable to a hairy, slubby one although a lot

Hi, Susan!
Have you considered YLI #100? It's quite thin and comes in a nice variety of
colors. And has that silk sheen, too. It's soft, unlike linen, but still has
good stitch definition. Sometimes it can drop the hitch, mostly because it's
slick, but I don't have trouble when I use a doub

Your point is well taken Adele. I've already got plenty of problems with the
'lace' threads! lol Besides I could always make something in white/ecru & dye

Hi Susan
Well this is down to the mysteries of Coats - or Coats & Clarks as I think it
is still called in USA. Coats & Clarks in UK ceased in the 1960s.
I haven’t seen this thread, so I had a look on the Coats (UK) website
and it’s not there in the list of cotton threads. I changed the locati
Hello Susan and everyone
I used long-staple cotton sewing machine threads a lot for lace, viz.
Sulky 30 wt. at 27 wraps. Your new thread should be quite nice for lace.

I think I bought mine somewhere like JoAnne Fabrics or Michaels, but they may
only stock it before Christmas. Have you tried local embroidery shops? Check

does anyone know where I can buy Coats cotton 80?

A woman in the USA is crocheting my grandfather's baby bonnet and tells me
