Item number 23 on page 127 of The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable asks for both a netting needle filled with double thread and one filled with single thread. I decided to use size 80 tatting thread for the single thread and size 10 crochet thread for the double thread. This is what my sample of Trimming looked like.
I like the look of the two different sized of thread, but I didn't like the extra thread ends that result from joining the different threads, so I cleaned the photo up to see what it might look like without all the loose thread ends.
I wondered what this edge would look like if I just used a single thread throughout the netting. So I tried it using size 20 crochet thread with this result.
My instructions for Trimmings #23 from The Young Ladies' Journal Complete Guide to the Worktable (page 127, illustration on page 126)
Made with either a single crochet thread (size 20 or 30) or with a thin thread (tatting thread size 80) and a thick thread (size 10).
