Yes, the red thread separating the little bundles means that it's a slip
thread. So long as you have a complete bundle the number of small 'slips'
indicates its thickness.

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.

sure that whatever thread you choose is colour-fast

As far as I can see from the DMC website DMC currently only make one
linen thread - that's the Mouline linen floss which is in skeins just
like skeins of cotton embroidery .
I'm not sure what you mean by coning to use it in lace.

Hi Miriam and everyone
I have tried the DMC linen floss for lace, and it is the same size as for
using their cotton embroidery floss (I think you meant coming to use it for
lace?). The linen floss is not as strong for lace perhaps because it has
been softened for use in embroidery. It is ok
Hello Valerie
50/3 or 35/2 WHAT?
It sounds like an indirect sizing - 50/3 should be similar thickness to
35/3 for a cotton count (cc) or a linen number (NeL), but without
