celticleather Report post Posted February 12, 2011 I'm looking for a particular type of linen thread that I use for hand-sewing. It's an 18/3, and the spool-end label says WMZ Exportklasse NeL 18/3Z-glanz ['glanz' is German 'gloss'] 50gr. - gelb 125 ['gelb' is German 'yellow'] 1007 - 320416 [maybe just a batch number] I bought it a couple of years ago, and I can't track down (remember!) the supplier. It has a glossy or polished finish, as opposed to the 'fluffy' finish that is common on linen thread. It is almost certainly of German origin, and if anyone (especially our Continental friends) can point me to a manufacturer/supplier, I'd be ecstatic!

celticleather Report post Posted February 16, 2011 I'm pretty sure Le Prevo, 18/3 thread is from WMZ so I imagine they can get the gloss thread. I'd already tried Le Prevo, and although the thread looked the same, the labels didn't have the word 'glanz' (gloss) on them. I spoke to Jan in their sales department, and she went to the trouble of checking through all their stock, and discovered that those with 'glanz' on the label, and those without, were exactly the same thread! Top marks to Jan at Le Prevo for taking the time to solve this little mystery . . . my thread will be in the post tomorrow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
