It is my go-to for my wrapped button if I am not going the "authentic" route. <br /><br />This one is more like a tight crochet thread - it is designed for lace weight knitting/crochet. I need to search it out properly, as I only have a bit gifted to me. I really did like it for the crochet. DMC do a coton a broder 25 you know, but it is hard to get hold of. We have to order it in from France through DMC here. I have been recently looking at antique Dorsets (all white) and the thread is really more like a an 80/3 or 100/3 lace making thread. Tiny. <br /><br />Toby would appreciate the cookie very much!!<br /><br />I hope that you are keeping well xxGina-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640906981065529894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6019967611762651725.post-26857530769177904662020-08-10T20:59:55.459-07:002020-08-10T20:59:55.459-07:00Or you can hug Toby and give Mark a cooky - or bot...Or you can hug Toby and give Mark a cooky - or both!C in CSpideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6019967611762651725.post-20023311274855128202020-08-10T20:25:41.942-07:002020-08-10T20:25:41.942-07:00I have noticed a certain crisp quality to the Aust...I have noticed a certain crisp quality to the Austrian/German buttons also and I covet that thread! Finca Prescienca seems the closest available to me (by mail order,of course)but I'm wondering if there is something I've missed. The big box craft stores only carry the standard inexpensive (downright rubbish in some cases) crochet threads. I have stitched with Paintbox threads and love her base thread and I had a tiny bit of possible coton a broder 25 from Croatia. Any thread thoughts would be welcome by all. Wear the brace, do the exercises, give Mark a hug and Toby a cooky. Charlotte in California xxxSpideyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350018553919112752noreply@blogger.com
