Hi Clay
had to look for the english explanation . just didn't have the
vocabulary any longer ...
*
Organsin*: the organzine is a silk thread composed of two or several
strands in which each strand has received a first twist from right to
left (500-700 T/M.) and the thread another double twist from left to
right (475-600 T/M).
*Grenadine*: the grenadine is a double or multi organzine raised to a
very high twist.

enjoy yourself though their threads are shamefully expensive ...

I haven not worked Chantilly, but there are lots of laces I've never
worked!! So much lace, so little time... ; )
My question is, exactly what is *grenadine* silk? If I ever attempt
Chantilly, I'll want to know!!

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 .... ;)
