Clay I don't know about the threads you specifically mention. But if you hang them spread out among the others, they won't show (except to you) in the finished lace. What will make the color difference visible is if all the optic white are hung right near each other. Then you will have lace with color patches. Something that weavers sometimes do is to use several shades of a color in the same piece. It gives a liveliness and vibrancy to the woven cloth. I've tried that in bobbin lace, with the same effect. If there some way you can space out the odd colored threads, or will that involve too much un-hanging? Lorelei
