Dear Arachnids,
This discussion is interesting. My experience with rayon has been some
disappoinment in its ability to keep its shape. It looks good at first, but
it's never the same after it's cleaned, in my experience. Anyway, I looked it
up and found this information on the Net, for what it's worth - can't vouch for
its accuracy!
> > >Rayon makes very shiny embroidery threads which are readily
available in many colors.? However, they are not always
colorfast.? Make a test piece to check for shrinking and color
fading. Before purchasing your thread, check the end of the spool for
the country of origin.? Do not buy it unless it was made in the
USA. Thread made in other countries has been shown to have high acid
content which causes rapid thread deterioration, unstable colors,
uncontrollable thread breakage and rapid thread deterioration.?To
prolong the life of your rayon thread, keep it in the freezer. Be sure
to bring the thread to room temperature before sewing. < < <

Ricki in Utah, where the sun today did a good job of melting last weekend's
snowfall.
