The advantage of the Pipers silk is that it is not plied so you can mix colors together to get different effects. I have tried it with some other threads and not got the same smooth effect, but good luck with your piece. Can't wait to see the book, probably at Montreal this summer. Janice

I think she is also using Piper's 90 Floss in colors but has not been specific about colors and quantity. Since I will not be selling in Montreal this year you would need to get the thread for this course in advance.> achieve the color desired. It is the same technique she uses in her butterflies.> I have some YLI 50 which is 36 wraps/cm according to Brenda's book. I will impatiently try this as the Pipers Silk Floss 90 is rated at 37 wraps per cm. The book Stil Bluten is awe-inspiring. Thanks for your help Janice.
