another photo from the same Picasa album . i love Chantilly but will
never try making any .. not enough knowledge of the art .May I remind
everybody that for traditional Chantilly you must use *grenadine* silk
, preferably black .
but then you don't have to be traditional .... ;)

I have a quick question:
I am thinking of doing some Chantilly. In the book I have, they used
250 unboiled silk for the ground and 2 threads of 120 boiled silk for
the gimp. I think their gimp looks a little bit too thin but I also
don't know what the size comparison is between these two threads (no
brand names given).
Does anyone have any recommendations for how many times thicker than
the ground the gimp should be? I seem to recall many years ago some
people used several strands of the ground thread to make their gimp,
but I can't recall what lace that was and how many strands they used.
