[lace-chat] Krienek Japan Silver thread

[Margot Walker]

I do a lot of goldwork embroidery and have a collection of books on the 
subject.  I just checked in  'Metallic thread embroidery' by Jacqueline 
Kreinik and here's what she says about their Japan threads:
'Japan Threads are synthetic gimps (wrapped threads) with a real silver 
content that gives the threads an appearance of real metal thread.  They 
are available in Gold, Dark Gold, Silver and Copper.'
Since they all have a silver content, they all will tarnish.  I don't 
know how long it will take, since I don't use Kreinik Jap threads but I 
hope this helps.
