Fil au Chinois Lace threads White 36/2
The recently relaunched Fil Au Chinois brand has put together a range of threads, until now uniquely available to professional luxury lacemakers. The thread is long fibre cotton, made using Egyptian cotton (the best quality) which is carded (wire brushed), then combed. Following an age-old tradition, lace threads are graded according to an English numbering system (NE), which correspond to the number of skeins measuring 840 yards (768.1 metres) per English pound (453.6 grammes). The lower the number, the thicker the thread and the higher the number, the finer the thread.
