Whilst I haven't seen that brand of 60/2 Egyptian cotton I'm pretty sure it
will be fairly fine, and being 2 ply will work up into a soft lace which drapes

I used this thread several years ago when I made an Alex Stillwell piece out
of her Geometric book, looked a bit like tipis to me around the square hanky
frame I made. The pattern was bucks point, so quite fine and in the early

Hello All! Does anyone have any experience making lace with Cucirini Tre
Stelle Per Orli A Giorno No. 100 thread? I found some at an embellishment shop
yesterday bought a spool. Lovely colors quite fine. I couldn't find it in
Brenda's edition 5 but perhaps it's under a different name?

a serger store.

Hi Susan
I've not heard of it, let alone seen any!
It's labelled as No 100 but said to be 60 wt.

CC=Nm/1.69
Google translates the Italian Cucirini Tre Stelle Per Orli A Giorno as
Cucirini Three Star Rims For A Day so I'm
It's quite lovely fine; the colors are zippy. The color I bought is sort of
a kiwi or Key lime green. I will report back when I've made something!
Perhaps it's an alternative for Madeira Cotona? It seems as fine or slightly
finer than MC with a tighter twist. Sincerely, Susan Hottle,
Thanks Bev! Looking at the uses on the Tristan site--they are suggesting
this thread for heirloom sewing so it sounds like a winner for lace since it's
Egyptian cotton! It was purchased thru Sue Spargo, along with Genziana some
jazzy embellishment threads for wool applique. Sue teaches in
On the topic of hanky fabrics,
(i)Copelands in Ireland no longer keep hanky linen. They tell me that
most of the Irish weavers are closed and they cannot source it.
(ii)Yes, Lacis still sell pin stitched cotton centres. The smallest is
four inches.
(iii)I haven't found any pin
Greetings,
I've been doing some family history research recently. My paternal 4 greats
grandfather (one Simon Cowcher) was a tailor in London - from the early
Census returns it would appear that 2 of his daughters were 'cotton

I've been looking for some organdie to have a go at Carrickmacross (some
