And here we differ again - which is all the more fun, that we *can* differ.
I dislike combining strands of a fine thread to make up the equivalent size of a thicker thread. I almost always mess up on the winding; a strand strays into an unwholesome loop, or a part of the whole will snag on a pin, unnoticed until too late to retro-lace, yada yada. I would just as soon find an equivalent thread of the same size, or reduce/enlarge the pricking to suit what I do have, or simply do a different project. I like it that I can choose to :D What it boils down to is - fighting the materials is counterproductive if you're ok with winding several strands on a bobbin, go for that. It is a great way to create a colour of single strands of different colours though, and I have done that before, but not as willingly as if I had a thicker thread to begin with. ;) On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 5:32 PM, Tamara P Duvall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Even though winding several strands onto a single bobbn can be a pain in > the neck, it pays off in the long run.
