Hi all. I'm researching embroidery materials and keep bumping into
references that mention floss silks. Might anyone know how early these
were used and/or have some possible sources they could point me to?
Thanks!

I know a lot of folks here have collections of images taken from web
gallery sites, to use as inspiration or reference help with their
costuming. I'd like to share a little program my husband has written to
help himself keep track of images, and to display them as desktop
wallpaper.

Arlys,
I can happily confirm they go back *at least* as far as the sixteenth century
in Sicily, having had first hand experience with stranded floss silks in use.
They sewed garments and made lace with them, in my experience.
I can even help you find some to experiment with. ;-) The store
