Hi
Yes I would be interested in your comment as well 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....

Mixing cotton gimp with linen thread is OK, they are both cellulose
fibres, but I wouldn't use cotton gimps with silk which is protein.
