But that begs a question... Where do I get "Alger Silk (1 strand/7)"
(whatever that means... 7 waht? Cm? Inches? I'm supposed to have 2
skeins of 8 meters of that, to wind on 36 bobbins)? Also, what's a
good source of "Ovale Silk 5 different colours (one bobbin for each
colour)"? Neither of them resides in my stash; for my previous
experiments in coloured French laces I used Pipers silk (as required)
Sounds as though it's Au ver a Soie D'Alger which is a stranded thread
(I've got it listed as 2S/8S but should be 2S/7S) :-(
Two 8m skeins to wind onto 36 bobbins, is *either* less than 1m for
each pair of bobbins, *or* you use a single strand and have plenty of
length for each bobbin.
Sorry, can't help with USA / Canada suppliers but others have.
