Antique Pattern with tiny thread

[Chainone]

I have worked this pattern a couple times, but this time I did it with #100 DMC cordonnet, which is close to sewing thread. It came out pretty small I would not recommend using such a fine thread, I just wanted to see the result. I wish I could get hooks smaller than 14

Very pretty, I love the finer threads. Don't get to work with size 100 too often anymore. As a designer I have to work in threads people will use. But I love the fine threads. You can get a size 15 and 16 from Lacis . They carry both sizes. The smallest thread I ever used is a size 150. They don't make it anymore. I have a few balls which I am saving for something special....

So pretty!!!

oh WOW that is amazing! So tiny and intricate! I've worked with two strands of sewing thread (one was that slippery machine-embroider stuff) and it was so fiddly. (that was for a tiny teddy bear's dress...the tiny teddy bear was in some embroidery type wool, probably close to 20/30 thread) I can hardly imagine making a doily in size 100!

Your tiny doily came out gorgeous! It looks so perfect

Beautiful!I can't imagine using thread that small, the smallest I've used is 30 cotton.

Stunning!

 

I made that one in size 10 and yours is soooooo tiny! How did you like working with size 100?

[ReniC]

So beautiful and delicate. Many years ago I made a doily out of size 100 and swore never to do it again- and I haven't!

[Krakovianka]

It's very fine and dainty--nice work! The only thing I've made with size 100 was earrings...but I have some on hand for when the inspiration hits.

Beautiful!

[Granny Square]

Lovely! I've made this in size 10 but my eyes are, um, too mature for such tiny thread! Well done!

It's very exquisite!

I have agree with Granny Square. My eyes couldn't take working with that small of thread anymore.

[Chainone]

well, that's pretty much the only benefit of being very nearsighted I take off my glasses and its like having a magnifying glass

[SeeJaneCrochet]

ok- that may be the cutest thing I've ever seen!!

[Mom w/a Motif]

That is amazimg! And so beautiful. I would go blind working with thread that small. Beautiful doily!

[pineapplequeen]

Wow!!! That's just beautiful.

[PetraDae]

Absolutely lovely!

[janni]

Wow that is beautiful! 10 is the smallest for this girl so I can really appreciate your work! tyfs

[DoubleTreble]

Wow, that is stunning! Almost looks like paper... beautiful.

[allieliz]

Oh my goodness, that is amazing!

[sunnywolfgar]

Beautiful, and so dainty. I love it, you crocheted a masterpiece.

[DEMET]

I love fine threads too, your doily turned out very pretty.

 

I think Tulip has very fine hooks, I believe I have size 17 or 18 hook.
