Re: [lace] Thread hunt
PS, I got that wrong! My apologies. Too late at night here. Wrapped threads are the ones which are more prone to shredding, the bound ones are usually a bit more resilient.

Got itâthanks Brenda! Doesnât look favorable for Rosaline. LOL. I just finished a class with Judith Cordell & had an idea to use metallic thread.

Today I was looking for a fine metallic thread--56 wpcm--& ran across Bart & Francis' "Copper Cobweb". Since many of Brenda's samples come from Arachne members, I wanted to ask if anyone has used it in a project? There is a lace sample shown on the web page for the product but no other info. Comments, suggestions? It's listed as "bound" thread but I don't understand how that differs from "wrapped" or how that affects its use. The next finest metallic thread seems to be Kreinik Balger cord at 44 wpcm. Many thanks.

Re: [lace] Thread hunt
Hi Susan A wrapped metallic thread is one where the fibre core is smoothly wrapped with a flat,narrow sliver of metallic foil. A bound thread is one where the fibres and metallic slivers are held together by very fine nylon or polyester filaments wrapped around them. Usually one going clockwise and the other going anticlockwise. On the whole bound threads are more prone to shredding than wrapped threads. Brenda > Hello All!
