Hello All! Boy, oh boy, I can hardly wait to hear the answers on this question as I recently bookmarked several kumihimo sites including Weir Dolls & Crafts. In their blurb about Clover Tire silk thread, they note that it is very similar to traditional kumi thread. I've used "pre-twisted" (as opposed to flat silk for Japanese embroidery) Japanese threads of this sort for Rozashi so now I wonder if this is the weight that you are seeking. It is very lustrous, finer than buttonhole twist & slightly squirrely because of the high twist. If that is so, it would end my use of those pesky hanks of threads stored in tissue paper! Staying tuned in Erie, PA. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
