Y'ALL:
Found it! Fine crochet thread in all the sizes made in New York. Some of these sizes are damn near impossible to find for vintage patterns.

Does anyone know if there are any degradation-over-time issues in stiffening crochet with fishing line? I am talking about monofilament which I am guessing will probably be nylon.
In this case, the thickness of the line will exceed the thickness of the thread used, and I would be concerned about anything leaching out hastening the degradation of the thread.
I had mounted this crocheted #wedgeSquiggle on a background embroidered with copies of the triangle pattern on which it is based.
I just noticed that when I use my flatbed scanner to capture the image, the scanner seems to be consistently introducing lighter lines into the picture 🙁 (the evenly-spaced thin lines are due to the fabric, it is the other ones that are the problem). I may have to go with a photograph, or try to get another scanner working with my iPad.
Working on another crocheted squiggle.
I had forgotten how much of a pain it is to sew a lacy piece of crochet into a fabric that can fray….not using any fray-stopping liquid…yet.
I guess that a quarter of a century may be enough time to forget such things.
I haven't shared a project progress report in awhile. I admit this is just an exercise in vanity. The "top expert" designation challenged me.
I've run out of thread (one of the butterflies isn't finished and I have all the attachment/fill work to do) so this has to be set aside until more thread arrives.
I used to crochet quite a bit with thread - even won a ribbon at the NM state fair. I'm enjoying getting back into it.
Mirrored pair of physical #wedgeSquiggles.
I may have to be a bit careful if I want to avoid the directional tilt of the stitches.
More experiments with sequins, metallic thread and #crochet.
Yet another physical squiggle. This one is crocheted around sequins using metallic thread.
