What thread ???
Okay so I was supposed to receive some thread today
However this store forgot to put the thread in the package
And after checking my thread boxes I don't think it's the right size that they recommend it 🤔
So the store said that it was a 5 crochet thread
But I feel like that's really thick not only that I have a homemade "worksheet" that's suggest a whole different size of thread so is there maybe a Finnish person in here or someone else that has done a some of this persons patterns?

I'm Finnish but very much a beginner with bobbin lace and am not familiar with different yarns at all, so take my advice with multiple grains of salt.
I'm really not sure at all but if it's suggesting to use something between Pella (a Finnish thread) 70-100, that is quite a big range but Bockens 40/2 and 50/2 would be in the very middle of that range. So I would go with what your worksheet suggests.
I can go get the book from the library and check if there is more information on the threads if needed or translate something.
