Evening spiders,
I have ordered silk from Pipers in England and I think it is quite close to
the silk thread used in older Maltese lace pieces. They have various
shades of cream, ivory, etc. and you may have to order a few to get the
right shade because depending on the condition or treatment of the lace
over time, the colour of the old pieces can vary significantly. The one I
thought resembled the Maltese silk the most was their '90 silk Floss' as it
does not have much of a twist to it.
Happy lacing,
Cindy - in Wisconsin where spring is trying really hard to show itself.

What is the source of the silk thread used for Maltese lace? That
wonderful luminous cream silk ... and has anyone tried to repair a piece
of Maltese lace?
