Threads

Threads can be very confusing to a lacemaker as the size numbers of different companies do not match those of another company.                                                                                                                                                                     To help, the following lists are threads from my stock that can be substituted for each other (eg. all of the threads in list A are                                                                                                                                                                        comparable). Please note, they are not an exact match but can be used as a substitution.

Thread Gauge:  Place the transparent sheet over your lace pattern, and locate the dot-matrix which most closely matches your pricking.  Then locate the suggested threads on a separate thread list.  From "The Lacemaker"
