Re: About Guttermann threads

["Gissing, Mary" <MaryG@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Veronica, 
These Guttermann silk threads are available in Australia through a shop
called lincraft http://www.lincraft.com.au/about.htm however at this time
you cannot buy over the internet from them. If you have no response  from
anyone in Europe I would be willing to help you obtain some.
Kind regards

Subject: About Guttermann threads

>Dear Colleagues,

In tapestry conservation there are many kinds of threads you can use for
consolidation but I am looking  about  Guttermann  silk threads which are
pretty enough resistent and also those threads are used because those
threads arent so brilliants . I got this  incomplete information from a
person who spent time in Belgium IRPA, but I cant find more information.
Someone has used these threads or knows where can I ask for it.


Thanks very much in advance,
