DMC Cordonnet 80 have an Anchor equivalent?

Hi all!
I'm translating again and have a pattern that calls for DMC Cordonnet 80
but we're trying to give a complete Anchor conversion alternative...
does anyone know if Anchor has an equivalent and what it's called?
I'm not familiar with Anchor threads at all.

TIA,

In Italy there's Anchor Cordonnet, more or less in the same sizes of
DMC Cordonnet.
But it looks like it's a product that is not sold everywhere,
according to the official website. Starting at http://www.coats.com
you can have a look at the various local websites.
I've searched for Cordonnet (that in Italy is under Crochet Threads)
in USA and UK websites with no luck.

Ciao, Stefania

DMC Cordonnet is a high quality crochet thread that comes in many
sizes, but only in white & ecru. It is sometimes used for pulled
thread embroidery. Size 80 is the same size as tatting cotton.
According the DMC website, the difference between the two is that
tatting cotton is made with long staple cotton. Alas, I don't see
tatting cotton on the Coats website either.

Pearl cotton #12 is a possible substitute. It is a bit heavier than
the #80, but might be acceptable in your application.

BTW, what is the application? Maybe we could think of other
substitutes.

Hi Nancy Sue,
This is being used for a pulled filling stitch, I just wanted to list
the Anchor/DMC conversion and I didn't know that Anchor also makes
Cordonnnet but it seems for the European market!

Thanks for your help!
