Hello All! As most of you know, I never (well almost never!) met a thread I didn't like! Today, I hit the jackpot with an order that brought WonderFil Eleganza, Fonty & Thread Gatherers Oriental Linen to my mailbox. If anyone has any experience with these threads, would you please post your comments? In the meantime, I will share what (little) I know. The Eleganza is 100% Giza 88 cotton & the colors are beyond fabulous! Who hasn't wished for perle 8 that is outside the box?! Bookmarks may never be the same with this thread. Fonty by Calin is pretty much a mystery except that it is 2ply linen & "made in Creuse". The 190m spool is 25 grams & knitting gauge is listed as 2-2.5. No size listed. The Oriental Linen is 2ply, 52% silk & 48% linen. It's knubby & "naturally" variegated because the fibers take the dye differently. It's a bonanza that I'm eager to test! WonderFil Eleganza is listed in Addendum 5, but I didn't find the others. If someone in France can shed ! some light on the linen, that would be great. Would love to hear some reviews, pro or con. Many thanks. Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA
