I am about an inch away from completing the altar cloth. That's a total of
134 inches, 3 2/3 yards, or 3 meters, 35 cm. Makes me feel good. But now I
want to go on and make the larger pricking for the communion table. Same
pattern, but bigger. The thread called for is Bockens 25/3 with 18/5
I have never tried this doubling process, but my first thought is that there
might be a significant difference in effect between a three ply thread for
which a cross section would be round, and two round threads sitting next to
each other for which a cross section would be more like a rectangle
Good point, Devon. I wonder if that means tripling would be better. No way
to tell unless one does a sample. There is a cloth stitch area on the edges
that works like a tape, and is only 5 pairs. I wonder if just doing that
cloth stitch part would help define what works better without
Regarding doubling and trebling threads:
I would get my spinning wheel out and ply the two or three together.
Just an idea.
