I have a piece of vintage lace and have now been shown 2 more examples where
there are 6 or 8 leaf tallies crossing in a peculiar way. To begin with the
tallies are long and skinny, where they join in the middle it appears that
each half of either the 6 or 8 was made separately and sewn together
Egyptian 80/2 = 50 w/cm
Egyptian 80/3 = 35 w/cm
Aurifil 80 = 43 w/cm
So a little finer than Egyptian 80/3 and a little thicker than Egyptian 80/2

For Janice & others who are not able to attend—there is a group of us who will
drive to NJ from western PA. We plan to take lots of pictures so I’m sure some
will be posted to Arachne Flickr for everyone to enjoy. Susan Hottle USA

Just to add to the fun, may I ask if the thread sample was white or a color?
IMHO identical threads sometimes differ in size because of the dye process.
