Angela, I must know...what thread was Miriam using to do colour in her Honiton? :) I've always thought honiton screams for very subtle colouring..is there coloured thread out there that is fine enough? If there is, I wants it!:) Another point that I thought interesting in the last digest..how does Fimo work for making beads for spangles? I've often thought I'd like to make a bottom bead to match my painted bobbins..is it really suitable? Does it stand up to much use? About green threads. I knew a lady who wanted to clean an antique embroidery, which she did very gently and very carefully in distilled water. The whole thing turned out beautifully except the green. It just disintegrated and not a hair was left. At the time I wondered whether it was the chemical composition of the dye itself. I have run up against this a couple of times since with things I have bought at flea markets, and it's always the green thread that falls apart. Interesting. Sharon on rainy, windy Vancouver Island
