I'm curious about this comment (work gently and carefully). Silk is a lot stronger than the same thickness of cotton. I use silk often--Gutermann 100/3 (matte, like cotton, but rich colors); YLI & Tire, #50 and #100 (lovely sheen and rich colors); silk buttonhole twist for gimps. It works easily because it's smooth (so it tensions easily) and strong. IMO, it's well worth the expense. When you think about how much lace you can get from a spool, and how many hours of enjoyment you get making that much lace, thread is *not* expensive. Even if it's silk! Robin P.
