Hi Sue and fellow Arachnids,
Having worked with Pipers silk I must say I love their threads. The colours
are delightful, with a lovely sheen and the thread is of excellent quality.
The owners, Sue Peck and her husband are always ready to help with advice on
type of thread most appropriate for the task -spun, folded, twisted as well
as thicknesses- and on colour. I have not had any 'bits' in the threads nor
broken thread on the reels.
Personally I have no interests in Pipers silks, but am just a very happy
client.
Happy lace making,
Joepie in very windy East Sussex, UK

Subject: [lace] Silk threads
I am about to order some thread to make my scarf, having decided and changed
my mind several times and ending up back at gutterman white silk as it will
be
possible to wear it with many colours rather than just a few. I have
finished working my sample strip which is also helping me decide how much
thread I must order to make sure I have enough.
But then I was looking at Sandi's wonderful site and her use of Pipers silk
and wondered what the difference is between the two threads. Gutterman I
have used for several different projects, I love the colours, the feel and
the
way it works and have been happy with all the pieces I have working with it.
I want a smooth soft thread, no bitty bits to add any texture at all in my
torchon pattern, so any comments would be welcome.
