I've come across a product in one of my favorite quilt shops... It's
called "Gloves in a Bottle", and it is pretty amazing stuff... just use
a "dab"... more is too much... and it smooths the skin amazingly. It
contains a certain amount of silicone so that it seals the skin and the
lotion doesn't wash off. I've been using it for a couple of months, and
am pretty amazed at the difference.

Hi Janice,
I found the same "catching" difficulty when working with Soie Ovale in
Cluny (lightly spun filament silk) and when spinning silk. It was
suggested to me that I try a product from Crabtree & Evelyn which I
have found works pretty well to smooth dry skin and keep it from
snagging the silk fibers. It is actually two complementary products:
one with which to wash your hands which contains a grainy material to
help exfoliate the skin, followed by a moisturizing cream. It is
called La Source Hand Therapy and Hand Recovery. I also noticed a
"Silk Spinner's" cream on the Treenway site Bev posted last night.
Might have to try that one sometime too!
