AboutMarla Expertise I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in hairpin lace, or the afghan stitch. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
Experience I have been a crocheter for almost 30 years.
Answer Hi Roberta!
This may be a duplicate answer, since this computer I am using at the library is funny about sending some e-mails. I don't think this got sent, so I think I lost my e-mail to you.I will be glad when I get my computer back from the doctor. But anyway, yes, you can use size 5 thread. I don't use this size often, but it should work. If you are using a pattern for a smallet thread, the gauge for size 5 will be larger, and so will be the tablecloth. But size 5 will be more durable. I do have lots of old Coats and Clark's books, so if there is a reaference to one, I may have it. Good Luck!
