It is not necessary to plait them. Just use several of the threads together. That is what they often did in Chantilly. Sometimes they even took one out and used it in the body of the lace if they needed it, and then put it back into the bundle. Devon In a message dated 5/24/2012 5:22:46 P.M.

Lacers, I picked up some Pipers Floss Silk (90) in a color pack, and now I am wondering what to do with it. I'd like to try some Bucks Points patterns that I have, but I don't know how to select a proper gimp for this. Is it ok to use a cotton thread like Pearl Cotton as a gimp in silk, or should I try to keep everything the same type of fiber? I am also worried about color matching. Can I use a plait of the same threads instead of finding another thread entierly?
