Dear Spiders
I've had a query regarding a project in my book regarding the use of Au Ver a
Soie 100/3 silk thread as an alternative to the Gutermann 100/3 silk thread
specified. I've never used it myself so don't have a reel to compare but can
any of you tell me if it is close to the Gutermann
Hi Susan
Gimp/coarse thread in Honiton is more subtle than in Torchon so err towards the
finer end; perhaps only four times the thickness of the main thread, so divide
w/cm of main thread by 2 instead of 2.5.
So, 100/2 Egyptian gassed cotton = 56w/cm.
56/2 = 28 which is the same as DMC
Thank you, Pene, for the update. Everyone loves to receive a lace
bulletin, and sometimes they do not realize how much goes into getting one
into
members' mailboxes.
It is unfortunate that our Lace Guilds must rely on unpaid volunteer
editors, who probably do not receive nearly enough
Hi Cathy
I would if I could but as I’ve never seen any Au ver a Soie 100/3 I’ve not
measured it. Can anyone else help?

Catherine,
the silk Au Ver a Soie is indeed very close to Gütermann 110/3, when I remember
right a little bit thicker. I used up all mine therefore I can't take both in
my hand and compare. It depend on your way of working, if you work not to
dense it's ok. It is a wonderful thread to make
Excellent! Thanks again Brenda!! You've given me some additional options to
consider. The Lace Day vendors open early tomorrow so I'll be first in line to
examine the threads. Sincerely, Susan Hottle getting ready to be Honitonized
