Hello the list,
Just wanted to share a happy thing wich just happened to me.
I had ordered a lot of silk floss directly from China. More than 2 kg.
Then when i wanted to try them out, i noticed that the threads was not
stranded into smaller threads like Eternas silk floss. It was a solid thread
full of tiny tiny threads. The floss is cut out into lenghts of 84 cm each,
and i tryed to split them, but it was impossible.
Now i got help from H-Needlework, they advised me to cut the thread shorter.
Now i have succeded to split one thread into 16 smaller strands without
troubble.
Think about the possibilities with this, i can mix collours if i need
another shade i dont have.And make different thicknesses of strands.
A little more time consuming, but truely worth the effort.
