In a sale I picked up some thread which hasn't been manufactured for a long time, Sylko size 40 Mercerised cotton. It was originally made for sewing and comes on 100 yard plastic spools. The colours I got were deep blue, purple and cerise. I'm going to use them for lace to applique on a light blue T shirt. This thread is too old to be in the thread comparison book I own. Has anyone ever used it, and could give me some opinion as to how it compared with the recommended thread for a pricking. Size isn't crucial for my use, I like very open lace to use for applique, but a starting point to experiment with would be handy. -- Money can't buy everything. That's what credit cards are for.
