Oh lovely, such a bunch of great answers so thank you all (I will get round
to reading them more fully and answering comments and thanking you
personally once my most important things are done for today. It is a very
busy week this week, getting ready to travel. I am trying to think if I
have got time to receive some in the post before we leave at the weekend, so
I can pack it and use while away, in the quiet times in the evenings while
we are on holiday.
Suffering, as I do, from brain fog there are times when I just cant get the
initial thought going, but once fired up as now it is magical and I found
some good choices in DK. Not so sure that I like the softer colours in the
heavier weights. Beautiful and peaceful for blankets etc, but not so great
when wanting to make colourful, joyful christmas pieces.

Hi Arachnids
My bobbin lace items for now are up to date for now and once we are back
from
our golden wedding anniversary celebrations and holiday and then I have a
couple of items I want to make with the plastic canvas but cant use wool or
similar fibres and it makes me cough and choke too much. Can anyone in the
UK
tell me of a thick cotton fibre which could be used instead please for 7 or
10
holes per inch canvas that will come in reasonable colours for christmas
pieces red, blue, white etc. I have no idea what I might even search for.
We
are very short of knitting wool/fibre shops close to home that I could ask
the
questions from so I hope someone amongst you will be able to advise me
please.
I have lots of cotton crochet threads and bobbin lace threads that are just
fine but this is rather thick. I did several a couple of years ago in aran
thickness so it needs to be able to fill the spaces in.
Working on some tatting just at present
