Hello Brenda -
Today some thread sold on eBay, and it raised a couple of questions that I
thought you might be able to answer. The thread was described as "12 slip
230 , so very, very fine".
The first question is, what does this term (12 slip 230)mean? Is it related
to the old "band" descriptor, as in "12 band"?
The second question is that there were what appeared to be four hanks of
thread in the lot, and each hank was in a small sealed plastic bag, where it
had been placed by the Honiton Lace Show "many years ago", since that is
when the seller says she bought them. So the question is, do you think that
the plastic was harmful to the thread over time, especially considering how
fine it is said to be?
I've been eager to learn more about the thread, but did not want to jinx the
auction for anyone (myself included!) But the price went higher than I was
willing to pay, without knowing the condition of the thread.
Thanks for your input!
