I don't claim any expertise in Maltese lace, or silk threads either. But recently, I used Au Ver a Soie to make a small piece, and it was delightful to work with. My hunch is that this silk is not glossy enough for Maltese. The weight of the thread is probably right, and the color is the wonderful natural (unprocessed) silk color.
So, for anyone knowledgeable about the silk once used for Maltese, could you please tell us how Au Ver a Soie measures up for this? Thanks!
