Yes I've tried it. The colours in the thread I used were quite muted, so the effect was pleasant. The thread is similar in type to a perle, but considerably thinner. I did find that making rings stressed it somewhat so that it began to fray; the thread is a little soft for shuttle tatting but can be managed with care. If you can needle tat, then I'd recommend using a needle as there is less wear on the thread. -- Blessed are the censors; they shall inhibit the earth Steph Peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tatting, lace & stitching page <http://www.sandbenders.demon.co.uk/index.htm> - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
