A new Gütermann sewing thread doily

[Veronika Rohrhofer]

I came back from my snorkeling holiday in Hurghada (Egypt) today and I managed to block one Gütermann sewing thread doily which I have crocheted on the beach. It is very tiny and measures only 14 cm (5,4 inch) in diameter.

That's a ton of stitches in something so small. What weight is the thread and hook size? I'm always impressed with your work, but this one blows my mind! I'd have to work behind a magnifier & use tweezers. It's absolutely stunning!

The thread is Gütermann C Ne 50,100% Cotton, and the hook I use is a TULIP hook size 0,35 mm.

Wow! I have a .35 mm hook, because it came in the set. I've looked at it a few times. The smallest I've tried is .75 mm & it was difficult.
