Patty, Thank very much for your notes about the silk threads, and the tips about wetting the knots. I know I can get Pipers Silks in the UK from their web site, but I will look out for the other threads you mention.
What are insect pins? I've never heard of them! Regards, Annette, London > Dear Annette, > > I have used just about every kind of silk and I finally worked a miniature parasol from Ann Collier's book of miniature lace for dollhouses (can't remember the exact title.) From my experience with the miniature parasol which I first tried to work in 140 or 160 cotton and it just disintegrated. So I got serious and pulled out some unboiled 3 ply silk in pale blue with boiled silk, doubled, in white for the gimp. I was very happy with the results.... - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
