Hi Everybody: > Can anyone tell me what "purse silk" or "purse twist" is? From what I have managed to glean from the web, it appears to be three ply silk with a high sheen and thicknesses quoted are 300 and 500, or numbers to that effect.
Just his morning it hit me where I'd seen the term "purse silk". It was to do with a pattern I bought once to knit a beaded purse. The company that made that pattern sells "3-count" and "5-count" rayon (i.e. "artificial silk" or "art silk") in a couple of dozen different colours on its website: http://swallowhillcreations.com/category/rayon/5-wt/ Hope this helps.
