Hi All...
Relative to this thread, I was in my local needlework shop today and a
sales rep was there. Since there were no other customers (and the shop
owner is a friend), they didn't interrupt their business. I saw the
most beautiful array of the new "rayons"... meaning, fibers made from
proteins. There were milk, soy, bamboo, and lots of combinations that
yielded lovely textures and lots of choices in sizes of yarn. Nothing
so fine as to work lace with (unless it's knitted lace, of course...).
My continued impression of all of these threads/fibers/yarns is that
they have a remarkable "hand", and are very "drape-y". So, any pattern
that calls for a very relaxed structure will shine with these yarns and
threads. If you are working a pattern that requires integrity of
design, then these fibers will disappoint you terribly.
We're at a point now when we can decide which way we want to go... the
flow, or the show!!
So much fiber, so little time...

Ah...that's right. Forgot. Thanks for the clarification. That is why it is
nice and smooth to the touch. But still has a good tooth for grabbing
stitches. ;)
