Hi Brenda, You bring up an interesting question. I have been studying with Belgian teachers for quite a few years, and they are very fond of using reeled silk as a gimp with Egyptian cotton. The silk has such a wonderful sheen and really emphasizes the gimp.
Could you tell me more about what concerns you about combining silk and cotton? I may need to rethink this....
